UGOBE delays the Pleo again, adds new sounds and sensor {Engadget}
Feb 1st 2007 5:48PM Ugobe is playing a fine line here. This is the second reported price increase, and at least the 2nd release delay. If they aren't careful they'll end up where plenty of other companies have - over promising and under performing.
Here's hoping they don't end up that way though. Pleo definitely ranks very highly on the 'cute list'. I looks like I'll be buying two, since the fiancee said I couldn't hack her's up.
*sigh* ... $600 ....

nickjohnson, LEDs, function almost like a photodiode. Photodiodes, however, are optimized to detect light not emit it. You're right though, you won't see much a signal at all from a LED, your best be would be to use a phototransistor, as this amplifies the signal.
