I'm not even sure this is a direct failing of the UI per se - it's a failing of the hardware design beyond the UI, and it's certainly a usability issue where too much emphasis is placed on the touchscreen.
Their main point is that the UI, while beautiful, is not very useful for a mobile device. Why? Because you cannot keep the player in your pocket and press the buttons there. You have to take it out, unlock the display, look at it and then perform whatever action you want on the touch screen.
Pretty silly not to provide a remote control with the Touch though...
