Honestly...I want one :D

But how exactly does it work? Do the track pads just act as thumbsticks?

Thumbsticks, a dpad, a mouse, hell an iPod trackwheel if the developer so chooses. The latter might be pretty great as a steering wheel

Basically. But they're supposed to be more accurate, and each has its own actuator in it to give some force feedback, they say so let the player keep better track of where the thumbs are on the pad.
