Every source I've seen -- including the linked article -- describes it as a "glass multi-touch trackpad". This does not imply that it has tactile feedback, beyond the clicky noises (which aren't tactile).
Where did you get your information?

Watch the video. 3/4 of the way in, they introduce the trackpad. You can clearly see that the trackpad gets recessed when you click on it.
It /feels/ the same as the old trackpad thus it has tactile feedback. The entire trackpad clicks.

I asked a question in good faith. Why all the down-voting?
The copy on the apple site is ambiguous -- saying that the trackpad "is the button" could mean a lot of things, including that the trackpad acts as the button (which is how I read it). It isn't an unreasonable interpretation.
I guess they could make it more obvious that the trackpad is actually physically a button...
Followup question about sources is fair, but still seems to advance an erroneous impression based on "every source I've seen". So slight downmodding (perhaps just to zero) doesn't seem clearly abusive to me.
(I've only downmodded the original false comment, while upmodding those providing true information and details.)
