After reading this I didn't understand why they hadn't been bought by Google or Microsoft just for that feature, access to a near real-time translator that not only gets the usual words and uses but lots of slang and edge cases that nerds like us love to use. I mean google built/bought gVoice and GOOG-411 for the voicemails and transcriptions, they have that weird empire land based game for maps, and here's a chance to greatly improve gTranslate and possibly even gNow... As a windows phone user, I, of course, want microsoft to snap them up (for cortana), but they don't have the foresight to make these types of buys (yet?).
