Note that the English demo was high-pitch, which dismayed some of those who wanted to hear a more manly voice. Anyways, it's planned for release by the end of the year or early next year.
MIKU UPDATES
We now move on to the English Vocebank update of Hatsune Miku! Again, here's the demo shown:

Some were disappointed with the demo while others say it was pretty decent for a 'beta' or voicebank-in-development. Crypton hopes for a Spring 2012 release.
As for the other voicebanks, Crypton says that working on these two alone requires a lot of time and effort but they're planning updates for all of their current voicebanks. Also, they are not planning on making new voicebanks so no 'CV04' at this point.
With that said, other updates from Crypton include a new Miku dance model and we have conflicting reports though that it's either through MMD or a new software but I'll update it as soon as we have everything straightened out. Also, no concert plans in the US at the moment.
And that's all from Crypton's panel at NY Comic-Con! There's still a lot more Vocaloid-related stuff happening there like Good Smile Company's booth but we'll wait until all the reports are out from that event.
