I think that the Pleo looks better as a robo-dinosaur than a dinosaur. And someone needs to hack it and install a webcam as the head or something. Maybe you can even add a GSM/CDMA transceiver and use it as a mobile phone.
@waiownsyou: That's the spirit! I am intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter (no, I don't really know where that came from but I've seen it a lot on slashdot lol). If this thing is programmable, you could make an autonomous patrol robot dinosaur that can transmit a live video feed from anywhere it has cellular signal. Amazing!
