I want. I want. I want. Unfortunately Pleo Dinosaur is $349 at Amazon.com
(this item will be released on November 1, 2007 and is only available for pre-order). I can think of other uses for $349. But, it sure is a cute little baby dinosaur robot. Maybe if I win the California Lottery.There is a lot of information on that Amazon.com page about Pleo being an interactive robot pet. Apparently once you own Pleo, you can Users can find training tips and download enhancements to Pleo from http://www.pleoworld.com/.
This past week I've started watching the entire six Star Wars movies. I think that some of the sounds Pleo makes are Wookie. You can judge that yourself by going to PleoWorld. It is open right now in another tab and the baby dinosaur sounds are music to my ears.
Pleo might not be available until November, but you'll still find tons of YouTube videos already.

One of the great things about Pleo is that you'll be able to upload your own sounds into him, and presumably even program when these sounds get triggered.
Here's a little info about Pleo's supported audio formats and the Pleo Development Kit (PDK).
And if you're looking to learn more about Pleo, visit Pleo HQ...
http://pleohq.com
It's basically a mashup that brings together Pleo content from a variety of sources such as photos & videos from Flickr and YouTube, auctions from eBay, links from del.icio.us, a custom feed of news and blog posts, and also has some other basic info like technical specs, an FAQ with open commenting, and so on.
Interesting. I really would like to buy Pleo. Fun to have around when the nephews came to visit.
