Sony eVilla
Sony’s eVilla was an Internet appliance, which was released in June 2001 after 18 months of development. eVilla came at a price tag of $499, and users could access the Internet, send and receive e-mail, play audio and video, and save files to Sony’s memory stick at an additional monthly fees of $21.95. The major drawback of eVilla was the inability to save pictures and media from the websites. It had no hard disk, but it could read and write to Sony’s memory stick, included keyboard and mouse and could be connected with additional ports. eVilla was discontinued on September 2001, within three months of its launch. The customers received full refund for the product and the subscription fees.
