Overall understanding with both devices incorporating similar functions, however will this possibly over shadow wii's-u's future over next several months to come or vise versa.

Smart glass app: compatilbe as app on windows platform, unkown as of android market but if true with what ever partnership microsoft makes could anhilate wii-u entirely with it's limitations

Smartglass functions as remote, functional browser for (ie) and game stats, more indepth knowledge on world around you while engaged in movies from any device, still sceptical as of what devices those will be tho,

So far smart glass insn't a purpose built controller for games but assisting you on your journey through xbox live, stil early to say what these functions will be if blue tooth serves as some function with your gaming experiecne to truely be comparable with wii's controller.

While wi-u controller: acts as device similar to nintendo 3ds, showing map location, inventory, screen hub quirky way interacting within nintendos gaming universe, a way keep everything off tv but into your hands. it will act very similar down lines compared to smart-glass's functionality but with extreme limitation on where you can take it from my opinion.

While similar, I think there are some key differences. The Wii U tablet is basically the signature feature of the console. The Smart Glass is just another feature to the Xbox which may or may not work out. The onus is on the content creators to make it work with their content. The Wii U however is built to be part and parcel of the console itself and so will likely feature in a great deal of titles, including of course from Nintendo themselves. Im sure that they will have something to show during their conference that makes a great deal of sense with the controller.

The biggest difference is that developers know that every Wii U owner will have the tablet.
