2 very contrasting posts for your enjoyment. A tiny kiosk, Nano-S, for hotel check-ins with smart options. An affordable in-ear monitor (IEM), IER-M500, from Sony that will be available soon.
Meet Nano-S: The Tiny Kiosk Making Hotel Check-Ins Smarter
Say hello to Nano-S, Vendfun’s compact self check-in kiosk made for hotels that want a smoother guest experience without crowding the lobby. Launched at HOSAS 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, this fifth-generation kiosk packs big hotel tech into a small, stylish unit.
Nano-S handles the essentials: passport and ID scanning, payments, room card dispensing, and e-receipts. It even comes with Vendfun’s Membership Solution, giving guests a simple way to earn a free night after 10 stays in a year.
Built for boutique and smaller hotels, Nano-S is especially handy where space is tight. With optional facial verification, video concierge support, and EVA-Ready use in Singapore, it is a smart little upgrade for hotels across Malaysia and ASEAN.
Sony IER-M500 in-ear monitors
Sony’s new IER-M500 in-ear monitors are designed for performers who need secure, reliable sound on stage. Developed with input from monitoring engineers, the professional-grade monitors are built for musicians, performers, and audio professionals who want accurate monitoring during live shows and practice sessions.
The IER-M500 focuses on three essentials: a stable fit, strong noise isolation, and stage-ready durability. Sony’s fitting supporters, noise-isolating earpieces, flexible ear hangers, and clips help keep the monitors secure, while the sealed structure and large acoustic chamber support clearer monitoring, controlled bass, and high-resolution audio reproduction even in noisy environments.
The monitors come in clear, black, and red-and-blue transparent finishes, with a detachable 1.6-metre cable and moisture-resistant design suited for frequent use. Sony has also included 35% circular material in the product’s plastics, and the IER-M500 will be available in Singapore from August 2026 at selected retail shops and online stores for S$139.
