A NAMM (previously, National Association of Music Merchants) attendee has reported that YAMAHA's Vocaloid 3 booth were distributing this flyer. In case the image doesn't load, it says there's going to be a trial version of Megpoid English available for download from January 28th to February 14th over at Internet's site: http://www.ssw.co.jp/megpoid-trial
The page currently contains nothing, but considering the date, we'll only need to wait 2 more days before it goes live.
YAMAHA's presence at NAMM is part of their Trans-Pacific Project which aims to bridge the Japanese Vocaloid creative fandom with the English-speaking one. They have also attended CES 2013 and showcased Megpoid English, Akikoloid-chan, and AHSoftware's Kaai Yuki.

※ The download of Megpoid English's Trial Version ends on the 14th, but you can still use it after that because its shell-life is 14 days after installation. If you have the .exe file and have a spare computer around, you can actually install it there and use it for 14 more days.
※ February 28th, 2013 is the official start of Megpoid English distribution so please pre-order it now if you hadn't yet. You can pre-order it on the Vocaloid Store or at Amazon JP using a deputy service. It seems Amazon US will soon be distributing it as well, so you're in luck, US GUMI fans! That'll definitely save up on shipping costs.
