No they didn't. They simply stated that they do not comment on other
companies unreleased products.

I think it's not unreasonable to consider it a possibility with the
key position the iPod touch has and Apple's desire to drive adoption
of OSX on different devices. I mid-sized device as well as a JUMBO
sized one (think folio sized for graphic artists) make sense to me,
although I agree that Apple actually releasing either of these is
highly doubtful.
