My problem with TouchOSC was getting it to see my laptop. I haven't been able to set up a network with just the laptop and TouchOSC (though I haven't tried for a while) this is supposed to work though.
As far as using OSC in Pd check out the mrpeach library. It is awesome.
I'm sure it's possible to get the OSC data to come straight into Pd but in regards to getting those messages all nice and neat and easy I recommend OSCulator (I have no connection to guy making it, I just like it). It's third party software. Very easy to use and works very well. It's OSX only. I've used OSCulator for wiimotes and wacom tablets... I'm not really using OSC at the moment, so I haven't had a chance to give TouchOSC a good going over yet, but OSCulator does support TouchOSC.
Hope that helps.

I have recently purchased TouchOSC on the iPhone and have succesfully controlled Ableton Live with LiveControl and iTunes and other programs with OSCulator (AppleScript).
When I try the PD-examples from http://hexler.net/software/touchosc I have no succes. When I want to open the .pd file with the most recent version of PD extended (0.42.5) I get the old watch and nothing happpens. This is also the case with older PD's I use.
I got the 'basic.pd' up and running before I installed one of the other programs (LiveControl or OSCulator or TouchOSC Editor) but cannot remember which one.
I know that the .pd files have a prefilled [OSCreceive] (don't remember the correct syntax) with port 8000. OSCulator has a default port of 8000 as well. So I tried a cold boot and did not start up any other program than PD. Even this did not help.
Could this be the problem?
Are there more people working with TouchOSC and PD? Can someone help me trying to make a new OSCreceive from scratch with the correct syntax?
System specs: iOS4.2.1 on iPhone 3G - OS X 10.6.6 on late 2008 15" MBP. All software is up to date.
Thanks in advance!
