...nearly a 5 million percent markup from the 1938 street price of 10 cents. In 2002 Nicolas Cage, who had taken his stage name from Luke Cage, the first black comic-book super hero, got $1.68 million for his comics collection, which included an issue that introduced Batman's sidekick Robin and another that convened the first super-hero team, the Justice Society of America. Cage then auctioned off part of his classic-cars collection...
...When closed, the Mylo looks like a miniaturized sci-fi hovercraft, concealing a slide-out QWERTY keyboard for typing messages. It?s as if Sony developers looked at T-Mobile?s Sidekick and said, ?We should build that, only sleeker.? To be fair to the Sidekick, the Mylo can?t make standard cell calls, nor does it handle e-mail at all, but it does have a web browser, several instant messaging programs and Skype phone service. If you have a free Skype account, you can just enter your username and password, and it will bring up your contacts list...

You drag tracks to the included 64MB MiniSD card (you can always buy a larger one), then stick the card into the Sidekick and in an instant they're all displayed, categorized by artist, album or song title.

Still, I was startled by the rich sound of its single buried speaker when I tried out the Rolling Stones' dynamic "Moonlight Mile." I let the song play and jumped back to check my e-mail...
...This reassuring feeling only grew when I looked over the Sidekick monthly rates. A typical T-Mobile voice plan is 1,000 minutes for $40, adding $20 for unlimited e-mail, text messaging, web surfing and instant messaging. That's $60 per month, $25 per month cheaper than Verizon Wireless's starter plan for the Motorola Q. Sure, the Q has a sleek form and a very fast connection to the web. But the Sidekick has a friendlier interface, not to mention that je ne sais quoi we call Paris...
