The new EB-L1000 series of laser light source projectors underscores our commitment to the laser and high brightness projector market, and cements Epson’s position as the number one projector brand worldwide for 15 years running,” said Tan May Lin, Epson Singapore’s General Manager (Sales, Marketing & Customer Service Division).

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will be available in Singapore from 20 August at S$1,168. Pre-orders / registration of interest (with M1, Singtel, StarHub) begin today with delivery on 19 August. Free Note 7 Lens Kit (S$198) for pre orders.
The newest flagship phablet from Samsung has a 5.7-inch Quad HD Dual Edge SUPER AMOLED display with 2560 x 1440 (518ppi). The Galaxy Note 7 ships with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
The Galaxy Note series skips a number and goes directly from Note 5 to Note 7.
The latest flagship model is now in line with the Galaxy S7 to reduce confusion among consumers.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is available in Black Onyx, Gold Platinum, or Silver Titanium.
More importantly, Samsung is probably hoping that some of the success of the S7 will rub off on the Note 7 and continue turning around the fortunes of the Korean phone maker.
Prices of accessories
- LED View Cover: S$78
- S View Standing Cover: S$68
- Clear View Cover: S$68
- Leather Cover: S$48
- Backpack: S$128
- Starter Kit: S$168
* All prices include GST.
So the most “eye-catching” – forgive the pun – new feature must be the iris-scanner, another security to ensure only the right eyes get to eyeball the contents of the Note 7.
I tried it during the launch and it’s mighty fast and responsive, removing my initial reservation that it might be slow and wonky.
The S Pen also gets enhanced, software wise.
New functionalities include Screen Off Memo, Smart Select function, Air Command and Samsung Notes, as well as the ability to create and share GIF animations.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 comes with Dual SIM support, where one of the two nano-SIM slots can be used to accept a microSD memory card (up to 256GB) instead. This will extend the 64GB internal memory that comes with the phone.
Also, the Galaxy Note 7 and its S Pen are now both IP68-certified water and dust resistant, so you can now use them underwater – if you want/need to.
More details and technical specifications in the press release below.

Asia Pacific system developers can now experience the qualified and integrated platform to accelerate embedded development of innovative applications.
Renesas Synergy Platform is now available in South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and India.
Renesas Electronics Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renesas Electronics Corporation, has announced that the Renesas Synergy™ Platform is now available in Asia Pacific markets.
Renesas Synergy is a complete and qualified platform with fully integrated software, a scalable family of microcontrollers (MCUs), and unified development tools to speed embedded system developers’ time to market as they innovate new products for IoT device applications.
“In the rapidly evolving IoT industry, those who cannot get to market first with products that have differentiated value are at an immediate disadvantage. By enabling developers to start at the software API level and enjoy a connected real-time system without the need to build and maintain baseline functionality, the Synergy Platform empowers our customers to drive innovation and differentiation in their own end-products to succeed in a very competitive Market,” said Ronnie Ho, Director of General Purpose Marketing, Renesas Electronics Singapore.
At the heart of the Synergy Platform is the Synergy Software Package (SSP), which is qualified, supported, warranted, and maintained by Renesas.
The SSP consists of a real-time operating system (RTOS), extensive middleware, communications stacks, and more – all accessible through a robust Application Programming Interface (API) to free customers from struggling with lower-level details.
Developers can start MCU software development immediately at the API level so that they can focus on differentiating their own product instead of doing repetitive non-differentiating work.
Additionally, system developers can lower their total cost of ownership, and remove many obstacles that prevent them from starting new designs.
System developers in South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and India can now access the full service of the Synergy Platform, using the Synergy Gallery website where simple click-through licensing is all that is needed for immediate download of professional software and development tools with no fees or royalties.

Singapore will be the first in Southeast Asia to sell Dyson’s new hairdryer. The Supersonic will retail at S$599.
First launched in Japan back in May, the Supersonic marks Dyson’s foray from the business of cleaning to the business of beauty.
To commemorate the launch, Tangs will be doing an exclusive online pre-order with Tangs at their website from 20th July onwards.
“Hair dryers can be heavy, inefficient and make a racket. By looking at them further we realised that they can also cause extreme heat damage to hair. I challenged Dyson engineers to really understand the science of hair and develop our version of a hair dryer, which we think solves these problems,” said James Dyson, Inventor & Founder of Dyson.
Customers who pre-order the hair dryer may opt to pick up their machines at Tangs or have them delivered to their homes from 5 August onwards.
As part of the official launch, Dyson will conduct a hair academy with beauty blogger Drea Chong on the evening of 5 August from 7–9pm.
Limited spots are available and are on a first-come-first served basis.
Parties interested may RSVP to join hair academy.
Below is more information about the Supersonic hair dryer, extracted from Dyson’s press release.
