From the demo, that doesn't feel like real time to me. I was more impressed years ago by Google Wave's realtime translation via text far more than this because it enabled what felt like 'normal' speed conversation (albeit via text)...whereas this felt like you were conversing through a translator (which doesn't feel like conversation at all). I may be missing the technical achievement here, but in terms of end result, it feels very underwhelming.
