depends on which one you buy. Luka is bilingual and can sing very well in english., and all the vocaloids can sing in english, but you can barley understand them.
yes
It is 'sutaffu' in Japanese.
"Time" is 'jikan' in Japanese.
The Japanese Happy Birthday song is sung the same way it is sung in English but in Japanese's translation. Even in most Japanese schools they also sing it in English version as well.
"Sasori" is how scorpion is said in Japanese.

Assuming you are talking about the Japanese Vocaloids, I can say that the exact date is unknown. They might not even come at all.Several voice providers do not have the ability to speak fluent english, therefore, some vocaloids may not arrive in the US at all.The only two japanese vocaloids known having an english voicebank are Megurine Luka (who's eng voicebank was mainly targeted at Japanese users) and Hatsune Miku (her voicebank has yet to come, yet is is confirmed and currently in alpha stage)
Actually the first vocaloid was launched with another one at the same time so the first Vocaloids are Leon and Lola. The English Vocaloids. In the series of Japanese Vocaloid however, Meiko is first.
If you mean the first ever Vocaloids, the first two were MEIKO and KAITO. Answer Number Two: VOCALOID was announced in 2003 and released their first two VOCALOIDs in 2004. Those two VOCALOIDs were LEON and LOLA who sang in English and made by Zero-G Ltd. A few months later. Zero-G Ltd. made another VOCALOID called MIRIAM who also sang in english. A few months after MIRIAMs realese, Crypton Future Media made the first Japanese singing VOCALOID, MEIKO. 2 years later after MEIKOs release, KAITO was the first Japanese singing VOCALOID. This was the end of the original VOCALOIDs.

There are, actually, two companies that release, and work on English VOCALOIDs. They are Zero-G, and PowerFX. Crypton has a bilingual bank: Megurine Luka.
Yes!!! :D Japanese iPhone apps work on English iPhones, but if they haven't set it up for English as well as Japanese, all the text will be in Japanese.
Yes, it is possible. You would need AppLocale set into Japanese. Then, you would need the VOCALOID itself.
Rin and Len Kagamine are vocaloids, virtual singing synthesizers created by Crypton Future Media. They can be programmed to sing in multiple languages, including Japanese and English.
Any Japanese to English translator should work translating a haiku.
In terms of Vocaloid software: no. The Vocaloid software was developed in Spain at Pompeu Fabra University, though the research team which created it was led by a Japanese man, Kenmochi Hideki. In terms of Vocaloid characters: the first two were Leon (LE♂N) and Lola (L♀la), though they did not have "avatars" and only sang in English. They were developed and marketed by the Japanese company Yamaha, so in a sense Japan can be considered the first country to have Vocaloids.
there is a game based on vocaloids, but originally its a program.
