+1 for MusicStudio. iPad would be nicer, of course, but it's really not so difficult on the iPod Touch/iPhone. It exports MIDI perfectly, and it also hooks into the file sharing of iTunes so you don't have to use WiFi if you don't want to get the files over to your computer. All in all, it is a great app for sketching out a song to later be brought into your DAW.
NanoStudio is also a good one. Uses WiFI and its own desktop app for export. A couple differences between it and MusicStudio is that in MusicStudio, you choose an instrument from a list of usual instruments (bass, piano, guitar, cello, etc) and build an arrangement that way. In NanoStudio, there is only one synth (called "Eden" with different patch banks) and a drum machine, so is geared more for electronic, but you can certainly use it for a melody, etc. For track count, you are more limited in NanoStudio because you only get 4 tracks (which equal 4 instances of the Eden synth) plus a drum track. It exports the MIDI (or audio) too. And of course, because both export MIDI, you are not tied to the instruments it uses. Once you get the MIDI into REAPER, you can assign it to any VI.
