Clear is live - It’s a new to-do list app with gestural based (button-less) touch interface. See demo video.
Why is this cool? Gestures > Buttons. Buttons are a hack. Gestures = the keyboard shortcuts of touch. Let people direct interact with content.

It’s time to kill buttons. Yep, I’m inspired by Josh Clark’s talk at R/GA today “Buttons are a hack” (PDF slides) - Also, summary notes from @lukew
"When limited space puts the squeeze on tap targets, here’s the rule I’ve found works best: as long as a tap target is at least 44 points high or wide, you can squeeze the other dimension as small as 30 points if you really must. That means: the practical minimum size for any tap target is 44 x 30. (44 points = ~7mm)"
