As for buttons, this type of UI would be designed around the click-wheel. Look at the add/delete button. It is a slider, if it was a touch screen they'd make it two buttons.
As for the guy below with the problems about the clock. I've spotted them too. The clock times are mismatched. Seconds are a constant, but on the two clocks side by side they are different, and on the main clock they don't even move. Not only that, but on the clock selector they use a partial transparency. You'll see the world man faintly moving behind the clocks. This shows that not only do they have transparency, they have full 8bit transparency (like in PNG), as compared to the 1bit used in GIF. Yet on the main page with album art on the right 25% of the screen they couldn't use any transparency to give you a bigger view of the album artwork? I like much of what I see here, but I have a hard time trusting that this is what we'll see.
the real problem with the clocks is that the second hands move at different rates. The top clock is about to overtake the bottom clock just the bottom clock is deleted. That, and the interaction with the GUI is non intuitive- why does the world clock country setting slide across from any ol' direction instead of being consistent? It's a poorly done fake.
Chances are - Apple released this themselves and requested it be taken down themselvesto throw people off the scent or they saw this was released and played the 'let's get an Apple Legal take down request so everyone thinks it's something we've got'.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Meh, I'll take REAL buttons, thanks.

Makes sense no?
