fake or not.

There's been talk about this before and I believe it looks to be just a slightly modified Ugobe Pleo at the moment. There were some videos of it, but none showing autonomous action (there was a comment made on its site that it has the same autonomous features as a Ugobe). It's definitely not made by Innvo or in any way an official model of Pleo, but some off-brand products have proven to be very useful, especially the egg batteries and chargers. However, I don't think this product is any sort of improvement over what we have already and it's doubtful that it actually has operational Bluetooth features, etc. I'd say best case scenario, it's a Ugobe with some minor modifications that may be interesting, but definitely not an official product and definitely not worth the price they're asking (so no, not a real "third generation" of Pleo).

Yes. I would agree with Aibo. This product has been floating around for quite a while. I think it appeared on our radar sometime in twenty thirteen. My gut says it's a fake. If it were real there would be more info/videos floating around about it and there just isn't anything current about this product. I would stay away.
