Pleo Review - A Toy Robot Triumph?
SkinnyGuy writes "PCMag has one of the first reviews of the new robotic dinosaur. Is it worth $350? I think this reviewer thinks so. 'What most people will have a hard time understanding is that Ugobe's Pleo is one of the most sophisticated personal home entertainment robotic devices on the market today. It easily outshines robot toys from Wow Wee and Hasbro, though both companies offer robots that cost less than half of what Pleo does. Its nearest competitor, the Wow Wee Robopanda, is a good gift for young children, but it's not nearly as adorable, animated, or intelligent as Pleo. (Yes, it can stand up and crawl, but it doesn't look very good doing it.)'"
Robots aren't alive. For something to evolve it would need to be alive and have self-replicating abilities, ergo the ability to mutate. I'm not sure I understand what you're going for. Are you going for humor? If you are... then get some better newer material bitch. pwned... next please bitches!!
$350 would sustain a family in sub-Saharan Africa for 3 years...
But go ahead, buy your toy...
