Pleo Update

November has come and gone with quite a bit of new news relating to our cute robotic dino-pal, Pleo. You can check out all of the coverage on our sister site, PleoBot.com. We've learned that Pleo really does exist and that he's pretty cute and cuddly (ha! Our suspicions are confirmed!). He'll be selling for around $250 and displays a wide variety of actions, like getting sick with a cold, limping, pretending to be scared, making sounds, and even responding to his name.

Pleo will also come with a SD card slot and a USB port for donwloading new behaviors (and all sorts of hackery!) There's also several new pictures of Pleo, and vidoes - from PC Magazine and SciFi blog.

Pleo's NiMH battery will allow him to run for about 2 hrs, with a 4 hr charge time, however, there are currently no plans to make it replaceable.
