That's all I can come up with offhead.

For instance, the Zune I use if I actually want to listen to music on the go. If I need to skip a track I can just reach in my pocket and press the track advance button. With the iPod touch I need to take it out of my pocket, double-click home, click next and then put it back. Aside from the fact that this is the last thing I'd want to do on the subway, it's also a pretty shitty thing for a PMP to do.
I use my iPod to steal wifi and check my email on the go and watch a movie on the bus. The only reason I do this is because of the increased screen size.

But, there are some notable benefits to a touch screen. The display real estate can be increased without having to increase the size of the device itself. The interface is far more dynamic than anything with a lot of fixed buttons. You can update and improve layouts without actually having to design and build an entirely new device. I find that it's faster to find albums on my touch than it ever was to find on my iPod video because of both the quick swipe scrolling and the alphabet list on the side, which is a far better implementation of the list search than scrolling quickly to activate it.
But the iPod touch aside, just note that this particular PMP has physical playback buttons, so while you can use the touch screen when looking at it, you can pause, fast forward or rewind without having to take it out of your pocket. So while I understand the gripes against touchscreens, Sony did good to cater to those who may be a bit put off by having no choice but to use it.
