Pleo Toy Dinosaur (www.pleo-toy.co.uk) has great Pleo news, photos, videos and more
Ugobe have released the new Halloween personality. I'm going to install it and take some video. Has anyone else done it yet?
So what next for Pleo? Well I doubt they'll be able to make significant review streams from accessories and updates so the only option left to them would be to build a new model of Pleo with advanced features. My belief is that we'll have a new Pleo ready for next Christmas.
