This is not real.
It's presented as if the app is reflecting what's happening on the phone through an app and the table is reflecting the gestures back to the phone. All of this is completely fluid in the video.
However, a friend of mine has worked on an app (http://screensplitr.com/demogod/) whose goal is to display on a computer what's happening on the phone for demo purposes. (the way Steve Jobs does it on stage) It apparently got very difficult to get a good framerate through software. Apple is most likely doing this through hardware during their keynotes. So, I'm very doubtful of their app.
On top of it, note how awkwardly he launches the app. You'll notice that he actually puts the phone on sleep mode and tries to pretend he launches an app.
And I'm not even talking about the likely price of a 58in multitouch screen or the fact that such a prowess would have appeared earlier in some form or be shown in a more "roots" state than that fancy table.
Most likely, this is a fake. Actually, I'm not even sure why I'm discussing this: it's a nice fake but an obvious one.
edit: another odd thing I've noticed: the pictures show the Messages app saying "SMS", even though that has changed over a year ago. (plus the perspective on the second picture is completely screwed up)

another one: a screen would be fairly bright. it doesn't look to me like the light generated by the table is actually reflecting off their arms. can anyone see more clearly than me?

Notice how he slid his hand around to hit the power/lock button as he was running the app, yet the table didn't reflect that (it wasn't locked). Seems suspicious.
