Big buttons are better, but this still replicates an incredibly annoying UI paradigm that kills me: << > >> or Back, Play [Pause], Forward

Whether it's an audiobook or music, I'm hitting the play and pause buttons all the time. I don't have particularly thick fingers, but my genius self still manages to accidentally hit the Back or Forward button's instead of Play or Pause about 2 times out of 10. In an audiobook, loosing your place and finding it again is a killer, especially if the book is split into very long segments of audio.

Minor nitpick on a device with such large buttons, but I just find that idea annoying. Could be just me and my obviously adroit digits though :p
