As far as I'm concerned there is very little downside to the pre-order and a whole lot of upside. My credit card won't actually be charged until they are ready for shipment, and at that time I'll also be given the opportunity to cancel my order. Either my kids will get some nice Christmas presents, my PayPal account will get some eBay love, or I'll walk away with nary a financial bruise.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Diogenes]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 21st 2007 1:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pleo ready for US pre-order: $349 for your eventual destruction]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/21/pleo-ready-for-us-pre-order-349-for-your-eventual-destruction/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/21/pleo-ready-for-us-pre-order-349-for-your-eventual-destruction/</guid><description><![CDATA[I was a little excited and thinking about ponying up the cash but I read on their site that it takes 4 hours to charge for one hour of continuous use.<br><br>Seems really low, I personally would want a couple of hours to use to have it walk abound the house or something...i dunno.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David Falcones]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 21st 2007 2:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Pleo ready for US pre-order: $349 for your eventual destruction]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/21/pleo-ready-for-us-pre-order-349-for-your-eventual-destruction/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/21/pleo-ready-for-us-pre-order-349-for-your-eventual-destruction/</guid><description><![CDATA[thanks for the tip.

Well, I look forward to finding out just how much personality such a limited robot can express. I don't think you'll be able to find your own pleo if you put it in a group of them.
