I have no doubts that the final product will not look like that at all.
Both articles even mention that the current devkit doesn't even look like that. (A fact that The Damned inarticulately attempted to convey in the first post.)
also having a trackpad on the back of the thing sounds like the dumbest idea ever
The nub was workable, but definitely left room for improvement, sure.
I'm a dude so the weight never got to me (course I always support my elbows but still.)
Also how long are you playing to strain your hands, jeez
you make a hoe and hoe some grass until some seeds pop up
then you plant the seeds on the hoed ground and make sure there is a water source nearby
the crops will then proceed to grow, provided they don't get trampled
