VOCALOID is a Singing Synthesizer technology and application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize singing by just typing in lyrics and melody. Yamaha announced its development in 2003 and in January 2004 the first application software product was launched. It was not released as a Yamaha product, but a software package of Vocaloid Singer Libraries developed by third party licensees which included Yamaha's Vocaloid software.
So far, Leon, Lola and Miriam have been released from Zero-G Limited, UK, while Meiko and Kaito have been released from Crypton Future Media, Japan.
In January 2007 Yamaha announced a new version of the software engine,VOCALOID2, with various major improvements in usability and synthesis quality. Zero-G and others have announced plans to release products powered by the new software engine in 2007. PowerFX have released the first english package that is powered by VOCALOID2, Sweet Ann. Crypton has followed and announced a series of character VOCALOID2 packages to be released, the first being Hatsune Miku. The second package is stated to be released in December 2007 while a third will be somewhere in 2008.

It was officially announced yesterday that the second Vocaloid2 package (the first being the insanely popular Hatsune Miku) will be Kagamine Rin. She'll be voiced by Shimoda Asami, who's probably most famous for being the voice of Ami and Mami in THE IDOLM@STER game. In terms of singing, Hatsune Miku is listed as being good for Idol and dance songs, but Kagamine Rin will apparently be good at rock, pop, and even some enka. She'll also sing at a higher tempo - 85 to 175BPM - compared to Hatsune Miku's 70 to 150BPM. It should be interesting to listen to, and it's a surefire bet that this'll be a huge hit too.
