Thanks for sharing Junkroxy. He is super cute. And from the pics it seems like he is quite similar to a pleo in many ways. I may have to surf the web to see if I can find him for sale. :)
i've updated the post with a seller link, i supposed for US market ;)

I hope to see the video of it in action, to and see if I buy it. He is neither a function Pleo?
I know that he can do basic things and responds to touch and other things. No camera and microphones and from the tech details there's no mention to edge detection >:(

Also the Li-Polymer battery is familiar looking but in the photos looks yellow,,,wonder if it would fit into a Ugobe Pleo, a Rb or only the Inu? I would bet it is made at the same factory that produces all the Li-polymer batteries, in Taiwan where I get my monthy or so cases of UCUBE batteries for older Pleos. Curious and curiouser..................................
Well, I would think the closer we get to the Holiday, at least by Thanksgiving, Little Inu will start popping up on the web and in stores. just watch for the little guy. I think he would have to be a "distant" cousin to Pleo, a less advanced Pleo but cute none the less. :) NOw if they would just expand and make another dinosaur species, a baby Stegosaurus, or a Baby Triceratops...Ok I know some of you want T-Rex. but let's face it, it would be more difficult to make a 'cute" T-rex, and try to make it not a fierce meat eating kiling machine...just won't happen. you need plant eaters as cute little Dinos, and the T-Rexs and such are another generation all their own. I can just see Bob and Sally trying to be friendly and co-operative with a angry hungry Baby T-Rex looking down at them, with drool in a corne of his lip, with clenched teeth and snarling growls and outstretched tiny hands reaching to wring little "Bob"s head, while Sally retreats and leaves poor Bob stranded with this "Baby with Angst " issues... %) :( :D Try to explain that one, I think there are enough , D-Rexs, Roboraptor, etc out there for the Go Get them Meat Eating Community of Robotic Pets already.Little Inu is ok though, I think he and Pleo or Pleo Rb in one of those "Robot Matches" you see where the poor Pleo is matched or should I say, "un-matched" and ceremoniously sent to the slaughter like a lamb to the lion ) are a better bet to "nothing happening other than some cute little dino noises, honking, mooing , burping, laughing, etc. anything but out and out carnage like most people want to see on those sights... Ok, did I confuse you now... :o ;D Point is, Little Inu is cute, yes, and I may get one if the price was very cheap just as an experiment, but I love my Pleos, and I dont think Little Inu is anything that can come close to what Pleos can, but then he is not supposed to either.
I think he is the perfect answer ( from what I have seen which is very little at this point...) for all those parents who went out and bought Pleos thinking Pleo was cute and what their child would want and like and fouond out Pleo was too advanced , boring, can't make Pleo do what a child wants them to do etc, etc. Little Inu I think is the answer for Pleo want to be, the younger generation.

It looks like Little Inu will be distributed by Senario, as I believe Pleo was once? ;)
They don't call it Little Inu, but the graphic and description is a dead ringer for it over at Hammacher Schlemmer.

I think they are suppose to walk. I think I want to see one roaming around in a video before I make up my mind to purchase or not. Thanks for posting the video :)
yes, in the video in the link i saw one walk for a moment. The movements aren't fluid like pleos, but for that price Little Inu looks very interesting. The bad point for me is that they haven't camera and edge detection.

Then again, aren't pleo's themselves designed to be baby dinos?
Oh well, cool thought. :D

Also, to touch on the subject of MUTSU, brought up earlier in this thread...
I have a blue Mutsu with rainbow fins and I LOVE him! He was quite expensive as they are extremely hard to find now (got him on ebay for around $120). I have the japanese version which has a smaller tank, shaped like a fish bowl (which is far cuter in my opinion). He responds to sound and light and the japanese version comes with a little remote you use to communicate with him. With it you can tell him to do all types of tricks and such ^.^ He sits in his little bowl on my desk and swims around and entertains me with his singing, dancing and cute sounds ^.^
I love robotic pets so I am constantly on the lookout for some new ones to adopt. My most simplistic but ultra adorable is my little Walkie Bits. They are little electronic turtles from japan that walk to the beat you input by tapping on their shell. They also race and play music ^.^ Anybody else like these?
