With amazing control and flair that enables rich expressions, the GALAXY Note enables new smartphone experiences,” Kwon Jae Hoon, Managing Director, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

What to Look Forward

In a nutshell, the Samsung GALAXY Note is the first mobile device to combine core on-the-go functionality with innovative free capture and creation capabilities in one elegant, portable device. It eliminates the need to carry more than one mobile device as well as a paper notepad and pen.

Featuring state-of-the-art display, larger screen for more freedom and access to easy creativity, GALAXY Note retains the portability and of a smartphone but, through a larger screen/uniquely immersive viewing experience and input versatility (S Pen), it offers unique capabilities for creating and sharing content that creates an entirely new product category. 

Portability

Imagine having a computer that fits the palm of your hand that allows you to do anything and everything you can do on your work or home computer.

At only 9.65mm thin and as light as 178g, the GALAXY Note brings portability to a whole new level. Whether business men, fashion designers, creative directors, architects or even regular everyday smartphone users, the Samsung GALAXY Note eliminates the need for any other technological device with its state-of-the-art, power-packed technology.

With the GALAXY Note, life becomes much simpler at work and play. Gone are the days where notes are taken on a notepad, and then typed into the computer. With the GALAXY Note, anyone can edit presentations, documents, and anything else imaginable on one single smart device.

The text-recognition software that recognizes handwriting and re-digitizes it into regular text formats – the GALAXY Note allows a myriad of applications similar to this, making life so much simpler.

5.3” HD Super AMOLED Display

The GALAXY Note features a 5.3” HD Super AMOLED Plus display, delivering brilliant colors and contrast in an optimal size for the most popular on-the-go activities. 

Combined with the GALAXY Note’s full touch screen feature and 5.3” HD Super AMOLED screen, it will now become so much easier to produce, edit, capture, annotate and share content using any type of input on any screen whether photo, voice, text, handwriting and even drawing.

Imagine taking photographs, editing it on the spot with not only texts, but music and animation, and using it for presentations, portfolios or even just to share with friends and families.

The S Pen

The GALAXY Note’s S Pen offers advanced input technology for an accurate, analog-like content creation experience. Users can now compile super useful memos made up of images, multimedia sources, video links, URLs and images in addition to the traditional handwritten note.

Imagine using the text-recognition software that recognizes handwriting and re-digitizes it into regular text formats – the GALAXY Note allows a myriad of applications similar to this, making life so much simpler.

The S Pen can also be used for accurate sketching and artwork, while superior handwriting recognition allows ideas to be freely captured and shared with other devices without the need to perform any additional digitization; handwritten text is accurately converted into digital characters.

Pavilion KL is Malaysia’s Premier Mall with 22nd Award Win

Pavilion KL reaffirmed its position as Malaysia’s Premier Mall and Top National Attraction with 22^nd Award Win. Pavilion KL was chosen as Expatriate Lifestyle Magazine’s ‘Best Attraction’ award in the ‘Best of Malaysia Awards 2011’. The rigorous process spanned 10 weeks, covered 16 categories and was 100% based on public voting.

Ms. Joyce Yap, CEO, Retail of Pavilion KL said, “To be honoured as Malaysia’s ‘Best Attraction’ validates our on-going efforts to constantly evolve, refresh and deliver a holistic experience to our shoppers. We are at the forefront in presenting an outstanding retail mix, cutting-edge retail design and innovative marketing campaigns to continue to engage shoppers in break-through ways. This commitment has resulted in an average year-on-year growth of 15% in foot traffic which sees us now welcoming over 3.5 million visitors per month.”

Michael Kors recently opened its first store in the region at Pavilion KL at one of the eye-catching street-front duplexes, and other international brands that are exclusively found at the award-winning mall includes Bottega Veneta, Diane von Furstenberg, Jim Thompson, and Yves Saint Laurent to name a few. The mall recently launched the first 360-degree Japanese themed precinct in Southeast Asia, Tokyo Street, celebrating Japanese arts, culture and food on Level 6, which has received an overwhelming response from shoppers.

“We are ecstatic that within 3 years of operations, we have won 22 awards. We are proud but at the same time, humbled by our achievements as this only means that we have to work harder to continuously stay in the hearts of our loyal shoppers. We would like to thank everyone who has voted for Pavilion KL as the ‘Best Attraction’ mall. 2012 will be an even more exciting year for all visitors to Pavilion KL as we seek to make every activity, every event and every festive period even better than the previous years,” continued Ms Yap.

“With the Federal Government’s positive move to abolish import duties of 300 tourism-related products as carried out by the Ministry of Tourism Malaysia, retailers have greatly benefited from the aggressive marketing campaign and Pavilion KL has become the duty-free shopping haven and must-visit lifestyle destination for all, “concluded Ms. Yap.

Retail offerings at Pavilion KL continue to be a step ahead of the rest as the mall is at 100% occupancy, boasting 1.34 million square feet net lettable area and is home to 450 top international and Malaysian brands spanning six themed precincts over seven floors.
