Video Review: Just Mobile AluPen Pro
I always keep a stylus in my gear bag. There are often times when I prefer to use one to take notes on the iPad or draw something in one of the many sketch applications available. My stylus of choice up until now had been the Just Mobile AluPen. When the company released their AluPen Pro at CES 2o12 I knew I had to have one. The Pro version of the AluPen combines a comfortable stylus along with a ball point pen into one aluminum design that looks as though Apple cloud have created it themselves. The AluPen Pro is available in both black or silver and is sleeker than it’s brother, the AluPen. If you’re all about convergence devices this one will take the place of both you pen and your stylus and not only look great doing so but function superbly as well.
Click on through to check out my video review of the Just Mobile AluPen. Then head to this page on the company’s web site to learn more about it.
