YES. for a 'car mode' at least.

if it's winter and you're wearing gloves, it can be rather difficult to hit the buttons on the first try. this is especially true if you're driving on a bumpy road. I'd happily sacrifice the album art area if it meant getting buttons that are an inch wide.


also, I'll throw in another vote for "on the go" playlist creation like what the ipods have. this is the one thing preventing me from totally replacing my ipod with my tablet.
