I'm skeptical we'll be seeing this device. I guess it'll mainly depend if they'd get funded and even then I only see this as a short lived gimmick. The machine translation software just isn't good enough. It's unmissable to me, but for real time translation, it's simply not there yet. Since they have to license the speech recognition and machine translation technologies, in the end they'll just be competing with bluetooth headsets that are suited for picking up voices in conversations and they'll simple draw the shortest straw.
