Gizmodo UK has a short but very interesting interview with Steve Bannerman, a new arrival to Ugobe's powerhouse marketing team. In it he talks about the 55,000 Pleos now out in the wild, the Pleo Reincarnation program I mentioned in a previous post, and most importantly officially states that:

"Next year we will bring out additional life-forms. I can't say which right now but the new lifeforms don't necessarily have to be for purely entertainment purposes."

He also indicates that Ugobe wants to get more software out there for us Pleo owners to enjoy and explore. Bannerman was a bigwig marketing type over at Apple where he worked on Quicktime TV and headed up the launch of Apple's online media streaming business. Read the interview if you get the chance and here's to an exciting 2009 where new Ugobe critters will roam the Earth!

Hello everyone. I've been swamped with projects lately so I've been lagging on my Pleo coverage, but I wanted to pop you a quick note on a funny video I found. This video is from Pleo World member maggie44n. In this video, her two Pleos Linus & Schroeder enjoy a quick session of Roomba surfing. So while her house gets clean, her Pleos hang 16! For more fun adventures with Linus & Schroeder read her plog.

Ugobe has instituted a new program aimed at softening the blow of the
loss of a Pleo after the 90 day warranty period. They call it the
the Pleo Reincarnation Program. If you find that your Pleo has
developed a critical problem after the 90 day warranty period,
you can exchange your Pleo for another one at a significantly reduced price. The
intriguing part of the program is that Ugobe technicians will "extract" the personality of your Pleo and carry it over to your new Pleo; effectively porting his or her digital soul into a new shell. This is straight out of several science fiction stories I read as a kid about humans evolving to the point that they inhabited robot bodies. Eerie but cool.
