Ugobe to Make Pleo Available for Preorder Starting February 3rd

Written by William Cox

Sunday, 28 January 2007

Starting Saturday, February 3rd, Ugobe will offer it's robotic dinosaur, Pleo, for preorder. The price is expected to be around $250, and Pleo is expected to ship sometime in the 2nd Quarter of 2007 (April - June).

Pleo features over 30 sensors, a video camera, SD and USB ports, a 2hr battery runtime, automatic recharging, and over 14 motors. I'm especially looking forward to how people plan on hacking Pleo.

Update: Well, for those of you that checked, I'm sure you'll know that Ugobe has decided to postpone the Pleo release until Summer 2007. The postponement is to add some sensors to Pleo, improve his 'voice' and make other changes/additions. In the meantime, Ugobe is sponsoring an essay contest to give away 10 Pleos. Happy writing!

I order this magazine called "Popular Science" and not long ago, i got this magazine with an article talking about Pleo. So Pleo comes on the market in April(about) to June? If so can you by any chance tell me where i would possibly be able to get it? Also, if there is a small amount of Pleos made will it sell out and never be put on the market again?
thanks
