what happens if i want to buy a pleo now?? can i get the upgrades?? and is it worth it?

[rksinger]

I haven't see the new company info up yet anywhere. You can probably get a bargain on the Pleo but you might want to wait until its all official to make sure you have not only the updates, but somewhere to go for support as well.

Um just to let everyone know that Pleo is no more... Ugobe went under and shut down... And the site is gone...

[rksinger]

True, True! How can it be that the brilliant Pleo will not be made and more products won't come from Ugobe!!! You can pick Pleo's up for a song now. However, you won't be able to get warranty, or spare parts. I hope someone keeps it alive by making batteries and chargers available, not to mention the wonderful firmware upgrade.

i got mine yesterday for my birthday!!!!!!!

sadly Pleoworld the site is down and i really want to upgrade Zeus' Life OS but the sites not working :(

are there drastic improvements after upgrade?

[rksinger]

Yes, drastic improvements. I have read that the company is reorganizing, which is why the site is down, however, you can find the downloads through keeping in touch with the other Pleo lovers. There is a site .robotsrule (com), you have to go the pleo area. You can find info on who has the downloads there. I signed up for the newsletter and forum.

Well the company ugobe has been saved by another called jetta!And they will make more.

UPDATE - The pleo is going to CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE. I just heard on a podcast (CNET Buzz Out Loud) that the company that manufactures the Pleo holds all the rights and thus will be able to continue producing them. No word yet on things like replacement batteries or where to download the updates, however, one would hope they will set something up.

Say are you on the Bob The Pleo Forum? You look familar lol Yes I waited too long to get a Pleo now I gotta get one and risk having no warranty for it... Oh well I'll take the chance...
