Hey all,The folks that were behind this stunt did it without authorization or approval. It seems the prankster spirit overcame them, and FYI, there was quite a ruckus here in the office about it today. Many people were shocked and appalled, including the UGOBE reps at our Maker Faire booth!
We ourselves make emotional bonds with Pleo too!
Thanks for your concern! It is perhaps a small consolation to know that the Pleo destroyed was a factory prototype?
It won’t happen again under our watch!
So at least the folks at ugobe have “claimed” that they would never have done such a horrible thing …
Whatever. This is the last I will speak of this, since in the end, pleo is “just” a toy.. I think that Ugobe learned a valuable lesson about who they let go and represent their product in the open market…
