Waiting for Pleo is Hard!

Waiting for the Pleo to become available for purchase is hard enough. But wouldn't that waiting be a little easier if we at least got some new information about the Pleo now and again? Specifically: When, exactly, will Pleo be available? How much, exactly, will one cost? Sigh. Nothing yet on either of those pressing questions.

However, it looks like Ugobe's Pleo homepage has been updated with new information and details about the cute little Camarasaurus, including the picture above (and the sketches below) of the Pleo's "regeneration bed."

Can a long-extinct species be resurrected? Ugobe designers and engineers studied the long extinct Camarasaurus, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period...

Pleo is a 'designer species'. He incorporates all the basic traits of autonomous life. He is specifically engineered and enhanced to mimic life and relate to his owner on a personal level.

Pleo is equipped with senses for sight, sound, and touch. He learns as he explores his environment. He will exhibit genuine reactions to sensory stimuli. Every Pleo begins life with certain tendencies but, interaction with his environment has subtle effects on his behavior. Every Pleo eventually exhibits a unique personality.

Now, doesn't that make the waiting a little easier? (And a little harder, too?)
