PleoBot.com - Pleo The Dinosaur

Shortly after my post about Trossen Robotics offering Pleo for preorder, I received the following comment from Ugobe:

My name is Julie Crabill and I work with UGOBE on the PR front. UGOBE has not officially begun any pre-orders for Pleo. The Trossen Robotics pre-order page was put up in response to unsanctioned communication from one of our partners. The page is in the process of being removed however there is likelihood that other sites may follow suit and you can be sure that we will ask for a similar response, ie. the removal of any pre-sell information. UGOBE has not confirmed retail channel partners, the official date we will begin taking pre-orders or the official date Pleo will ship. Once we have this information, we will share it openly with consumers, media and bloggers alike and issue press releases accordingly. Sorry for any confusion on this. Sit tight, Pleo is on the way this summer!

The emphasis was added by me.
I must say this is a strange twist of events. How do confuse this issue? Perhaps we’ll have to get in touch with Trossen for further details.
