I don't think its an official Apple project. Seems they are just using Macs and using a custom written UI on top of OSX.

Anyone have more details??

Well the title in the link says "...Rosie Apple-Powered..." that suggests it's not an official Apple product.

The interface is just fugly!!!

I saw this a little while back. Look at photos and you'll know for sure it isn't an Apple Product. The UI is terrible.

Also, follow the links and you'll get to the main story where you'll read this.

Home A/V company Savant has announced their new ROSIE coffee table, a 40-inch touchscreen Apple computer in a form reminiscent of Microsoft's Surface.

According to the link in the main article,

Apple may not have responded to Microsoft with a surface clone, but another company is stepping up to the plate for them. Home A/V company Savant has announced their new ROSIE coffee table, a 40-inch touchscreen Apple computer in a form reminiscent of Microsoft's Surface.

So... Yea.. Its not officially from apple. Thankfully.
