AluPen - One of its kind?
Writing or drawing on the current bunch of capacititive- (rather than pressure-) sensitive smartphone screens is no easy task (unless you have one of those which carry a stylus as part of the deal).
The finger is too wide for any such task and the roughly US$1.00 rubber-ended styli or (somewhat more expensive) double-ended pens don't make the task easier.
There is however a new breed of styli, the powered-ones, which - despite their cca. 2mm tips (great for hand-writing & drawing) - manage to work with just about all of these devices, as they use their internal power in-lieu of the human body's static electricity in order to create enough impact for the smartphone to react.
Most of these powered pens, while sleek enough, use a rechargeable internal accumulator - use it till it gets empty and recharge it with a regular micro-USB cable.
While in theory they do quite a fine job of it, the real issue is that the moment the accumulator is empty one remains without any means of working until they recharge the device (several hours, that is ...)
This is where the AluPen shines: it uses a REPLACEABLE AAA Battery (can be of the rechargeable flavor), meaning that the moment it gets empty one can simply pop-it out and replace it with a new fresh one in a matter of seconds!
Moreover, as it is a bit thicker than the other type of styli, and with the added weight of the battery, the AluPen feels well and stable in the hand, more like a good & steady fountain or ball pen.
For all I know, it is just about the single model with this design on the market.
The downside? "Just-Mobile", the manufacturer, has stopped production, leaving the market in need of supply and thus the few units still available cost double or more the original price of about US$50.00, making the purchase problematic for most buyers (unless they have their minds squarely set on getting this unit and no other).
Personally, I love it and for the couple of weeks I was without one (after my better part "succeeded" in machine-washing my previous one along with the shirt in the pocket of which it was carried, thus rendering it completely unusable ...), I felt like lacking one of my hands every time I needed to make an entry in my smartphone.
Hope you will enjoy using it as well :)

Nice Spinners but not much over "regular" ones
While spin nicely, they are not made the same way (not referring to the color, but to the physical built).
Also, the luminous thing is very weak and visible only in almost full darkness and even that provided that during the day they were several hours in full sunlight.
So they are OK as spinners go, but nothing special besides that.

REALLY Turn any TV (even a Smart one) in a REALLY SmartTV
For one thing, this is not the 1st unit of the kind I purchased or highly recommended to my friends - this, by itself, goes a long way to make testimony as to the product's abilities and quality.
More to the point:
* We are living in a World of Smartphones and Tablets, mostly dominated by Android & iOS.
* We are used to having access to just about any streaming app on their small screen, and would really like to get the same flexibility & choice, on a larger (read: TV \ Projector) screen, with no quality compromise.
* Most TV sets nowadays provide "smart" features (read: built-in apps, including streaming sources such as Netflix & PrimeVideo) and some even abandoned their proprietary Operating Systems and switched to AndroidTV.
* This 4th generation of Google's Chromecast with GoogleTV finally does it right, namely:
@ Can be used completely without a Smartphone (although the initial setup could benefit from having one handy) - the included remote control does it all
@ Offers the highest currently available image quality (provided the TV set can match it), including 4K, HDR, DolbyVision and none of the streaming apps (Netflix, PrimeVideo, ...) limits the resolution (as they do PCs or other streamers)
@ Allows native casting to it from any Wi-Fi enabled PC\Mac or Smartphone \ Tablet
@ Has access to the huge Android library of apps (many of which are just fun to be used on a big screen, irrespective of watching streaming shows)
@ At the User's discretion, for typing text, besides the virtual on-screen keyboard, it can be used in conjunction with a regular Bluetooth keyboard (to be bought separately)
@ Supports just about as many interface languages as any Android-based device does (and that's a LOT!)
@ Works both over Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet (with a special combo power supply unit + RJ45 connector, to be purchased separetly) - personally, for as long as Wi-Fi is stable I prefer it, because the wired connection is limited to 100MBs (more than enough for streaming 4K though).
@ As all previous Chromecast units, takes almost no space at all (hides behind the TV set)
Bottom line: no matter how Smart your TV is, this unit turns it into a REALLY Smart one :)
Enjoy! (I know I do ...)
