I don't want to get rid of all buttons... Some buttons are very nice to have, like page scrolling buttons and menu buttons. I use a touchscreen device right now (a PDA) and I never use the touchscreen to go to a next screen. And it's much easier to go to the "home" of the device with a button than with a gesture on the screen.
And, as those buttons are on the bottom (except the page turning ones, they are on the side), you hardly notice them.

I agree, the Sony does look awesome, but I think I would miss some buttons there...
