Well, it’s happened. Ugobe filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy a few weeks ago.
Ugobe was the maker of the Pleo robotic dinosaur. Here is a Google search about the Pleo bankruptcy if you want more details. From what I’ve read, the rights to Pleo will be sold. It’s possible someone will purchase and keep producing Pleo’s. But, it’s doubtful. They are rather expensive, and didn’t live up to the hype. Plus, with the economy the way it is, they weren’t high on the “need to live” list.
Amazon has reduce their price. They were around $350. You can buy the Pleo right now for $207 with free shipping. If you want one, now is the time to buy. I’m guessing these will go up in price as they become scarce.

It is a pity. I studied the product, it seems a good product and it could be integrated with NXT.
