We were able to have a preview of this tablet during a dinner at M Cafe recently where Rafael Gutierrez and Ivan Pua of Samsung Philippines’ Mobility & Convergence Products unit revealed that Galaxy Note 10.1 is one of their first products to be equipped with the Knox mobile security solution.This addresses the need of business users for security on Android devices. With the Knox platform, business and personal data will coexist on the same device; the user will simply press an icon to switch from Personal to Work (and vice versa) instantly.

Those familiar with the Note 3 will find that the Note 10. 1 is also equipped with the same high-tech features. The most notable function is performed by the Samsung stylus called S Pen from where you can launch Action Memo, even organize a scrapbook or draw charts by hand which can easily be transformed into more formal charts and graphs.

With Multi Window, users will be able to open several tabs of the same application, and use the S Pen to drag and drop content from one window to another.

MOMENTUM On-Ear headphones by Sennheiser

October 6, 2013October 6, 2013 ajay Leave a comment

For the discriminating sound lover, Sennheiser has launched The MOMENTUM On-Ear headphones, the newest addition to the MOMENTUM family. The headphones are available in four fresh shades of blue, green, pink and ivory – colors which were chosen by no less than an international team of designers and trend scouts.

Retailing at a price of P11,290, the headphones are rather upscale but then you also get a high quality of materials and workmanship. The ear pads and headband have been finished in Alcantara®, a high-tech material produced in Italy. As a result of its unique combination of suppleness, durability and breathable comfort, this luxury material is valued by fashion designers and interior designers alike. As with all other models in the MOMENTUM family, the headband of the MOMENTUM On-Ear is made of stainless steel.

The sound of the headphones is also clear and uncompromising, creating a sound experience in which even the tiniest details can be heard. Equipped with high-end 18-ohm transducers, MOMENTUM On-Ear guarantees full stereo sound with a slight bass emphasis in a frequency range from 16 to 22,000 Hz. Thanks to their closed, on-ear design, these headphones isolate the listener from external noise to ensure a great listening experience on the move – even in noisy urban environments.

MOMENTUM On-Ear headphones feature a single-sided detachable cable with convenient in-line remote and microphone for Apple iDevices, for easy control of music playback and to make and receive calls on the go.

Enjoy Premier Golfing in Ras Al Khaimah

May 6, 2013May 6, 2013 ajay Leave a comment

More and more visitors from around the world are flocking to Al Hamra, a picturesque coastal town located in thriving Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), one of seven sheikdoms of the United Arab Emirates.

Under the strategic leadership of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the town of Al Hamra has been transformed into a world-renowned tourist destination featuring an abundance of leisure and recreational activities. Among these attractions, Al Hamra Golf Club is one of the most prestigious.

A Hidden Oasis

Tucked along the waters of the Arabian Gulf, the Al Hamra Golf Club is a place where expert golfers and budding novices can exist in harmony while enjoying tee time on a one-of-a-kind eighteen-hole golf course. The course features four open interconnected water lagoons for a breathtaking view as golfers make their way around the course.

This popular golfing attraction was designed by Peter Harradine, the senior architect of his family business “Harradine Golf.” Considered an icon in the golfing industry, Harradine has designed more than 160 state-of-the-art golf courses around the world.

Afternoon Dips and Moonlit Golf

Visitors can top off an afternoon of golf with a relaxing dip in the open salt water lagoon. The club’s expansive wooden sun deck features places to lounge, steps down to a floating pontoon, outdoor showers and changing facilities. It’s the perfect place to lounge or cool off.

After a day of work or an exciting day of sightseeing with the family, golfing enthusiasts can still play a late-night round of golf, thanks to Al Hamra Golf Club’s zero pollution floodlights. This is ideal for a romantic night or for an end-of-day corporate gathering.

International Cuisine

Whether tourists are in the mood for a quick business lunch, light snack or specialty fare, Al Hamra Golf Club features three restaurants that offer something for everyone. Zahara’s restaurant boasts modern ambiance and a large outdoor terrace offering spectacular views. The popular eatery tempts diners with a diverse menu ranging from tender fish dishes to exotic desserts to world-class wines.

Lagoon’s Sports Bar is a local favorite, providing a relaxing meeting place after work. With a menu that features classics like burgers, beers and club sandwiches, Lagoon’s Sports Bar is a popular destination for sports enthusiasts.

The Dunes Cafe is located inside of the Golf Academy clubhouse. This casual dining spot offers everything from light appetizers to international dishes.

A Growing Economy

In recent years, the United Arab Emirates has experienced unprecedented growth. While surging oil prices are largely responsible for this shift, the innovative leadership of Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi has helped steer the Ras Al Khaimah in the right direction.

In addition, His Highness Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi has encouraged local businesses to cater to the growing tourist population by expanding their offerings of recreational and leisure activities to include options like spas, luxury retail stores and, of course, golf. In fact, the club now offers corporate groups and clients an opportunity to tailor an event based on their individual needs or budget.

From the masterfully designed landscape to the international cuisine, Al Hamra Golf Club offers golfing enthusiasts an unforgettable experience.
