UPDATE: A Pleo rep left a comment on this post that preorders have not begun after all. Oh, well.
We've been excited about Ugobe's Pleo for a good while, and the wait is finally (almost) over. The adorable dinosaur robot is now available to pre-order from Trossen Robotics for $349.95.
Designed to learn from his surroundings, develop a unique personality, and feel and convey emotion, Pleo is sure to be in high demand. (Think Furby, except much smarter and much less likely to compel you to throw it against the wall.) Shipping is expected to start in July, but the anticipation can begin now.

My name is Julie Crabill and I work with UGOBE on the PR front. UGOBE has not officially begun any pre-orders for Pleo. The Trossen Robotics pre-order page was put up in response to unsanctioned communication from one of our partners. The page is in the process of being removed however there is likelihood that other sites may follow suit and you can be sure that we will ask for a similar response, ie. the removal of any pre-sell information. UGOBE has not confirmed retail channel partners, the official date we will begin taking pre-orders or the official date Pleo will ship. Once we have this information, we will share it openly with consumers, media and bloggers alike and issue press releases accordingly. Sorry for any confusion on this. Sit tight, Pleo is on the way this summer!
