News from Innvo Labs
The evolution of Pleo progresses – just like in nature, Pleo occasionally suffers from life’s minor ailments.
 At times, Pleo’s skin suffers from fading and cracking – ouch!
 Pleo’s “wake-up” mode can be too short and Pleo can get exhausted much too soon.
 Some of the neck and tail tendons can break after rough play which can result in restricted motion and cause Pleo pain.
To address these issues, Innvo Labs “Life Form Scientist” began work in June to improve Pleo’s physical condition. And, after a few months of concentrated effort the Innvo Labs Team has made great progress to cure Pleo’s ills.
 The “Dino-Skin” specialists have successfully modified Pleo’s skin to improve its texture, pigmentation and toughness. Now Pleo is thrilled to have new improved skin to show off.
 The “Food-Energy” specialists have implanted a new “Revival Power Recovery System” in the form of a high efficiency charger. Now after one 16 hour recharging, Pleo is ready to resume normal activities at a much higher level.
 The “Dino-Orthopedics” specialists have redesigned the neck and tail sections to remove a previously detected “spur” that was causing wear issues so Pleo’s range of movement and toughness is greatly improved.In addition to Pleo’s physical improvements, The “Dino-Mentalist” specialists have created a new learning system for Pleo. The PDK learning program enables enthusiasts to program Pleo with numerous individual personality and behavioral characteristics. Now once you bring Pleo home, you can customize it in order to make it truly a “one-of-a-kind” interactive friend.

This is good.    but this is strange. "Some of the neck and tail tendons can break after rough play which can result in restricted motion and cause Pleo pain." they can feel pain!
"The “Food-Energy” specialists have implanted a new “Revival Power Recovery System” in the form of a high efficiency charger. Now after one 16 hour recharging, Pleo is ready to resume normal activities at a much higher level." this is ether really good or really bad!   if they are one charge and done for ever or a few days then its good. but if its for a few howers then its really bad!
"The “Dino-Orthopedics” specialists have redesigned the neck and tail sections to remove a previously detected “spur” that was causing wear issues so Pleo’s range of movement and toughness is greatly improved." spur? what spur?

i've searched spur on babel fish there are the "bones" in the neck and tail, the cause of some bad tears on pleo's neck and tail

[justbede]

yeah there is quite a few little nubs under pleos skins that dont feel to healthy.

16 hour recharge???

[mweed]

Yikes!!!  I missed that!

[gucci_boi7782]

I wonder how that will work out! These new pleos are going to be so different! I've just got to have one!

[tkdgirl368]

16 hour recharge???

I think maybe it's 16 hour charge just for the batteries that no longer work and it makes them work again. I hope they don't mean you always have to charge the battery 16 hours before you can play with pleo.

[justbede]

thats what i was thinkin/ hoping

[Starfire]

Since they've been saying the new charger will refresh the batteries with a total discharge and then recharge.  I would guess there must be some kind of a button to set it for this "super charge" as opposed to a normal charge.  I can't believe they would think a 16 hour charge were an improvement.

[Crystal:.]

I doubt Innvo Labs are that stupid. I'm sure they have everything figured out, we just gotta hope the whole charging thing is improved.

[Toyguy]

Most likely they are describing a function many R/C car chargers have and that is a multiple-round, deep discharge/recharge cycle.  That's what he's talking about when he discusses renewing or reconditioning old batteries.  It will likely work for some old batteries, but probably not all.
