Too good to be true. Seems like they are just trying to get some media traction to convince some VC for some funding or creating a footprint for themselves in the tech fraternity.
Yes I will be a cynical hypocrite when it hits the market with seamless performance and after I will purchase it.
Real life scenario:
French chick: Bonjour. es tu perdu?
Scrawny-geek: (All blushing and shit...Is she interested in me? put on "groundbreaking" Pilot earbuds)
FC: excusez moi mister!!
SG: gives hand gesture to wait
10 seconds time lapse
analog audio signals are converted to digital and then data buffer is sent to the smartphone via BT. Phone pre-process the raw data and sends it to Watson-Siri-Echo-Now-esque ultra system composed of signal processor then NLP then translator and it sends it back to the phone and phone does some more voodoo on it and sends it back to the Pilot via BT and plays it to its user.
SG: Oh. I am sorry mademoiselle. I am just trying to find direction to the bathroom.
FC: lost and confused expressions appear as if she did not understand one word of English
SG: punching the air in frustration..wish this device could play the translation back to me in French
