Pleo on Preorder

Ugobe, a robotic toys startup just announced that it is accepting pre-orders for its new robotic dinosaur toy calleld Pleo. The price has been set at $349 which is quite expensive. Pleo has a bunch of sensors: an orientation sensor, touch sensors, force feedback sensors, microphones, a camera and infra-red sensors to detect other Pleos nearby and detect objects placed into the mouth. Ugobe seem to be leaving room for software updates, providing a mini-USB interface and SD card slot. Ugobe is co-founded by Caleb Chung, the inventor of the famous toy Furby.
