Hello,
The Consumer Electronics Show start this week. To which Innvo Labs will be attending and giving brand-new information about their 2010 Pleo! Don't know about every body else but I've been paying attention and am excited about it!
Regards,
Kristy.

innvo are under the name JETTA at CES

Would love to see any clips or written info about this new pleo on show when it’s available.

They will be there with a 4 foot tall pleo! :D
-
4 foot tall?!? Blimey they planning to give children rides around the exobission on its back or something?
A fore foot pleo would definitely be something to see though.
Shame you won’t be able to buy a fore foot pleo I mean can you imagine the looks on peoples faces when they come round to your house?
It would be even better if you can program it to chase the postman lol.

I want a four foot Pleo too, just imagine how much fun it would be :D Beats Kota any day :P
-
I can just imagine a 4 foot pleo greeting people at my door. :) How cute would that be? :) Think of it's weight! ;D

Amen to that!
-
I would love a 4 ft Pleo. Going to clear a space in the living room. The collectibles market better hurry and pick up, rather have the 4 ft Pleo than all those dust collectors.
-
Can you imagine running the Pleosaurus Rex in a 4-foot pleo! ;D

OOOOh!!! That sounds so cool. Such a good idea! 'Cept I've never tried any of the personalities, I think that one would be a fun one to try with a giant pleo.
-
Does the pleo actually work?
-

-

-

The Pleo does work Pleo Gal... but not like our Pleo's... that rock its standing on isn't just to look pretty it hides the mechanics. It isn't a life form like our little green bundles, it is a demonstration model.
-
I've asked Derek for an update. Hopefully I'll have some real info tomorrow.
-
Awesome! Alright. Great. Real cool. I'm really, really looking forward to that information.
-
Yeah I second that. I’d love more info about this demonstration model just to find out what it does and why it’s so big as well as the new 2010 models.
Lou
-
I wonder if they'd be interested in selling some of those 4 foot pleos! Would be bigger than my big ole dog!
-
The Pleo just rocks back and fourth and moves it's head and tail. It is not a real pleo. The mechanics to work it are hidden in the rock.
-
Does anyone know when they are going to announce next gen Pleo? Any insiders here? :)

-
Interesting but mot much real concrete info unfortunately.
Some of the comments at the end of the article make for grim reading though.
Lou
-
Argh, they need to give up information like they said they would!
-
Yeah I was also disappointed with the lack of any real info.
I don’t understand their tactics or why they wouldn’t have something a bit more concrete to take to the exobission. Surely that would have been the perfect opportunity for them to unveil something when everyone’s watching.

Plush Pleo! (http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/util_get_image/21/0,1425,sz=1&i=219090,00.jpg)
Nestled along the side of the company's small booth at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was a smaller version of Pleo, which at first glance looked like a stuffed animal. It's not. According to Jetta officials, it's a plush version, where all the painted, rubber skin has been replaced by fabric. Under that, soft stuffing surrounds Pleo's motors, joints, and technology.

Oh my gosh that is so cute and cuddly looking :D Mind you though I still prefer the realism of the rubber skin...
-
Ah now that’s more like it. Some more solid info at last.
It’s a very interesting idea that. I’d hope that it would be more advanced though rather than just a plush covering. Still though providing it can communicate with my original pleo though I’d prob consider getting a plush version just for the cute huggabilitey of it, not that I’m suggesting that current pleos aren’t huggable of course.
Lou
-
to bad they didnt have the new one there
-
Hmmmm I really prefer the rubber Pleo over the "plush Pleo". And they still need to give up their information (that they said they'd give up!). Argh! Geez.
-
Yeah there’s definitely something to be said about the realabilatey that the rubber skin would give over the plush version. The plush version would look more toy like I’d imagine. Cuddly though it is and I’d prob like one for the novelty of it I still choose my original pleo over it.
It’s a bit frustrating that there not giving out more technical info about the advancements of the 2010 version but The I don’t know if we will get much more info about the 2010 model at least for the time being. Maybe I’m reading to much in to the statement that they just want to concentrate on marketing the robot but it seems to me that they might have decided to shelve plans for any more advanced models at this time.
Really hoping I’m wrong though

What's the "NEW dynamic features"??
-
maybe it's not a bad idea a plushie vers. of Pleo, but that prototype is a little bit fat ;)
Maybe iof they will able to do a pleo that looks exactly the current one will be better.
-
he looks like pleo's grandfather ! lol
-
he looks like pleo's grandfather ! lol
ROFL! It does you know :D It looks like he has no teeth :P
-
I think that pleo has one too many wrinkles. :P
-
It looks more like a toy and it doesnt have a grin like the first pleo and in addition to that the plush version look more like a turtle head :(I would prefer the original pleo 2009 with its soft rubber and realistic appearance.
-
is it a replacement for the normal Pleo's? or are they going to be making both Plush Pleo's and normal Pleo's?
-
At least it being fabric, it can be opened and then sewn back without too much difficulty.. ;D
-

maybe they're looking for a more stretchable material taht fits Pleo well. The pleo in the photo it's a prototype, maybe the definitve model will be better ;)
-
Ewww!! Totally hate the plush pleo!!!! Totally hate it! Well maybe if he didn't look so fat and ugly and wrinkly I'd buy it. If it was a cheaper model with all the same features as a regular pleo, I'd buy it. So it's not too too too too bad, it just needs work. Is this for real though? Is this the next model they're selling?
-
Now that it's over, the official word from Innvo is that there were no announcements or unveilings at this show. It was intended as just a re-introduction of the little guy. News, announcements, updates, whatever will come later in the year. The plush pleo was just a prototype to get people's impressions/reactions while at the show. Jetta hasn't decided if they even want to pursue developing a softer, gentler pleo . . . It was more along the lines of the lamb-skin pleo they had at the Maker Faire a few years back . . . .
-
That lamb skin one was adorable! :D
-
That lamb skin one was adorable! :D
I second that! I wouldn't mind owning a lamb skin pleo!
-
Even having a little lamb costume helps. Fabric is awful to work with. :o Fuzz clings and gets all over the place, but when finished ,it is mighty soft and cuddly and doesn't shed. ;)

Great video. Definitely reinforces the idea that all Innvo Labs/Jetta did at CES is re-introduce pleo to the world.
