I played with it at CEDIA and it was utter crap. The interface is ugly as sin, it doesn't have multi-touch (sales guy: "uh...it has quasi-multi-touch, like, if you touch it, you can still touch it somewhere else"), it's slow, and basically all it does is act as a big coffee table-sized remote control.
Basically it just runs off of a Mac that's stored somewhere else in your house. Apparently you can connect up to eight devices to one Mac. I'm not sure how that works physically, maybe some kind of breakout box.
But yeah, it looked more like some kind of OSS project than a retail product. I was really disappointed.
