I've got both and find myself using iPeng on my iPod Touch more than the
Controller. It's nicer to use because of the larger screen and touch
abilities. However, the Controller does also give the option of using it
as a portable player which is nice if you want to lie in bed listening
to a wider range of music than the iPod can hold (although I have to
limit the bitrate for the Controller as it won't stream FLAC files
reliably - a separate issue discussed elsewhere on the forum).

iPeng does have the portable player functionality on its roadmap for a
future update, so at that point the Controller may become redundant,
especially as my iPod seems to have better wireless ability and it's
cheaper to buy an 8Gb Touch + iPeng than a Controller.

The other thing to remember is that the iPod is more than just an
alternative Controller. It can browse the web, check email, play games,
play video, offer other streaming music services and the Appstore allows
for many more possibilities for use. If I had neither and was going to
buy only one, it would be the iPod + iPeng (sorry, Logitech).
