Whilst there is plenty of information on the internet regarding Mya's design and debut, I can't find anything about its cancellation, other than the fact that the trademarks were abandoned. I know that the Mya character appeared 'live' (digital animation superimposed over actual footage of course) as a guest on a talk show (According to the New York Times source - "Motorola hopes a computer-generated character will link the real world with the virtual one", and also page 138 of the book 'Digital Domain' by Piers Bizony). Both references state she was on a talk show, the book actually shows a picture of her on the talk show (unfortunately without a clear view of the talk show hosts face), but neither specifies which talk show it was.

Interestingly, the Sidney Matrix reference used in the article states that Mya was still in development "at this time" (page 18 - book was published in 2006), though the book also states Mya "disappeared" and there is scarcely any information on the net about her other than press releases. The source does not note that Motorola had abandoned their trademark for Mya in 2002. Also this source [1] states that "As her Oscar debut suggests, even Mya wants to be on a talk show". Interesting to see how this fits in with the sources that she was on a talk show. I wish the commercial was available to view somewhere on the internet; I haven't seen it, and it would undoubtedly clear up some confusion. If anyone knows where to find a copy please let me know.

It's not often that I come across a GA submission that has very little that needs fixing, but this is one of them, so well done on that score. The only GA issue I have is that the lead is a little short. Perhaps we could have something on the intended business model in the lead. Also, although the lead says there was mixed reception, it lacks any sense of the nature of the comments. What I got from the comments was quality of simulation, good thing, sexual stereotyping, bad thing. One or two sentences would be enough to put that in the lead.
The only other comment I would like to make is that there is a lot of over-referencing in places. Do we really need five references for the name of the voice-over actress for instance? However, this is not a GA issue so you can ignore that if you like. SpinningSpark 13:19, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
