Yes, but certain things are probably universal.
Whether you are using your left or right hand, its more natural to hold a unit in the middle than from the bottom, presuming you are holding it. So buttons near the bottom are inherently lame in those cases. The only time I can think of when low-down buttons are superior is if your access to the unit is with it resting against something, like a stand, which is sitting on a desk or table. In that case, your hands are likely to be resting ON the desk or table and thus be lower.
Another one: too thin is annoying. Sure, its lighter, but its also correspondingly more awkward.
