i do own both.
first i had the iPT 3G, then i got the iphone 4S and a few months ago i replaced the IPT 3G with the 4G.
i dont think its pointless because i dock the ipod touch on the stereo system which leaves the iphone free to use.
additionally, when im not listening to music i can use battery-hungry apps such as games on the ipod-touch. when my iphone is charging at night i also take the ipod-touch to bed to read up on news or surf the net / facebook.
granted if my stereo system supported bluetooth (which doesn't), the iPad would have been the better option perhaps. still, it does complement my iPhone and i like that i have access to all my apps (not just universal ones) in both devices.

I own an iPhone 5 and will be getting an iPod touch. I'd rather not drain my battery or go through more cycles on it then I have to. So The iPod touch I use to dock and work out, and to us I'm my car for podcasting and music. Not to mention it frees up space on both devices this way.
Though I am definitely an exception. I can see the argument in being pointless to own both for some.

I have an iPhone 5 and am considering getting an iPod touch. It is sort of redundant. I would use the iPod for music and games and save the battery on my iPhone. I'm not as worried about the number of charge cycles, I just find it a hassle to have to charge more than once per day.
