Pictures, Videos, and more Information on Pleo.Buy Pleo.
Great news for all of us anxiously awaiting our Pleo robot dinosaurs. UGOBE is in the process of closing a new round of investment dollars that will net it an additional 8 million dollars in capital for manufacturing and new research and development. The most fascinating part of this announcement is that UGOBE has hinted at the creation of a whole series of artificial lifeforms to keep Pleo company. The most interesting part of the article is a comment dropped by CEO Bob Christopher in this quote from him:
The future is more exciting then ever, stay tuned! For more information on the funding read the entire article.“We could create a [robot] that could do things for you. It’s not on the road map yet… but the opportunity is there”

Pleo Wows Them In Boise!
Pictures, Videos, and more Information on Pleo.Buy Pleo.
Some very lucky coffee shop patrons in Boise, Idaho got an impromptu performance from Pleo. Caleb Chung, the star inventor of Pleo, UGOBE's robot dinosaur, gave the demonstration himself. The Salt Lake Tribune, a popular local newspaper, covered the event with glowing praise. Here are two quotes from the article:
"At a coffee shop in the Boise suburb of Eagle, Pleo charmed people at neighboring tables with his impromptu performance. He wagged his tail and walked playfully across the table, stopping when he sensed the edge was near. Pleo isn't alive, but you wouldn't know it by his charismatic performance."Furby is the smash hit lovable animated toy that launched Caleb Chung into toymaker stardom.
"Based on early interest from retailers and the buzz created online, Pleo is already shaping up to eclipse Furby."
