A sidekick is a stock character, a close companion who assists a partner in a superior position.
Garvin is notable as a male sidekick to a female hero, a setup less frequently encountered in adventure fiction.
Jolly Jumper is an example of an animal as sidekick, which is not at all unusual, though in most cases the non-human sidekick is a dog (such as Milou in Tintin or Devil in The Phantom).
Although not a new addition to the Sidekick, AOL's instant messenger is a mainstay of this device and is sure to deliver to those desiring to be in touch with their online pals at any place that T-Mobile service is present.
The Color Sidekick is more a personal, fun tool, for the individual then the professional as the battery life, an improvement over its predecessor, is still too short to go more then a day uncharged.
The Sidekicks screen is bright, but upon initial receipt of the device I felt as though it could have been brighter; with acclimation it was tolerable.
