Waiting for Dino...

Pleo is being delayed again.
  • Its eyes are being redone to look as realistic and life-like as possible.
  • The skin is being refined. Features that are currently painted on will be replaced with sculpted details that will give the impression of muscle tissue under the skin.
  • The number of sounds Pleo can make is being expanded.
  • The speaker is upgraded to make Pleo's voice much more realistic.
  • A chin sensor is being added so scratching Pleo under the chin gets a fun, playful reaction.

As a product manager, I have to wonder... Is he an insane perfectionist or just on a quest to create more buzz? There comes a time when you just have to let version 1.0 out the door.
