NEW YORK, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DuRoBo, a Dutch technology company, has introduced its debut product, Krono—an AI-powered ePaper focus hub. This Android-based e-ink device combines the capabilities of an e-reader, note-keeper, and audio player. It has now been pre-launched on Indiegogo.
This slab-like device, offered in black and white, features a distinctive axis on the back, adorned with breathing lights and a knob at the left end. The overall design gives a mechanical aesthetic. Krono's UI, in line with its ePaper focus hub positioning, showcases a clean geometric style, with occasional playful visual elements scattered across various interfaces, creating a refreshing and enduring appeal.
Krono's crowdfunding campaign highlights three primary functionalities: read, record, and listen, each optimized by AI integration for improved performance and usability.
The reading experience, a key strength of ePaper devices, is enhanced by a lightweight, portable body, suitable for on-the-go readers or those enjoying leisurely reading at home. Spark, a notable feature, serves as a note-taking and memo tool. It supports both voice and text input—voice for quickly capturing spontaneous ideas or to-do items, and text for detailed editing and refining of thoughts. Unlike typical E Ink devices focused on reading, Durobo Krono offers a dedicated Music function, expanding its use beyond text to include audio content.
One important advantage of the device is that it runs on an open Android system, allowing users to download apps for reading, podcasts, music, and communication, ensuring a fully personalized user experience.
Overall, the fusion of ePaper, Android, and AI positions Krono as a unique offering, combining a comfortable display, the flexibility of an open system, and AI-powered reading and audio capabilities. It's expected that Krono can provide a novel experience previously unseen in ePaper products.

Cements Role in Driving an Inclusive Digital Economy in the Southeast Asian Nation
MANILA, Philippines, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mynt, Inc., the parent company of the Philippines' number one finance superapp, GCash, continued to deliver sustainable growth in the first three months of 2026 as it cements its key role in building an inclusive digital financial system.
For the quarter ending March 2026, Mynt's income attributable to one of its major shareholders, Globe Telecom, surged to PHP 1.9 billion, representing a 120% increase over the previous quarter.
"Our latest results are a clear signal that GCash is no longer just a digital wallet, but a primary engine of the Philippines' digital economy. The quarterly growth reflects our success in scaling high-impact services like lending and wealth management while staying true to our mission of financial inclusion," said Martha Sazon, President and CEO of Mynt.
Scaling Daily Utility
Mynt has deepened its integration into the daily lives of Filipinos as it remains to be the top InstaPay destination by transaction volume according to the latest data of the Philippine Payments Management Inc. (PPMI).
Amidst global uncertainties, GCash strengthened its role as a lifeline and companion for millions of its users—waiving transaction fees for both inbound and outbound remittances for overseas Filipinos in the Middle East. It also worked closely with the government to enable fast and efficient delivery of fuel subsidies.
Powering Credit and Wealth with Tech
Fuse Financing, Inc, continued to expand access to fair lending, with life-to-date loan disbursements reaching PHP 406 billion, a 60% increase year on year. By utilizing GScore—a proprietary trust scoring system—Fuse has provided fair credit to over 11.1 million unique borrowers who were previously underserved by traditional banks.
Simultaneously, GCash is democratizing investments and protection. GStocks PH now serves 1.9 million registered investors or an expansion of 64%. GInsure has sold over 192.4 million policies life-to date, a 274% jump year on year.
Building the Future of Fintech
As the Philippines' largest digital ecosystem, GCash remains focused on international expansion and scaling its B2B offerings. It simplifies remittances by now allowing money transfers from GCash to a foreign bank or e-wallet across 16 countries. It's also giving micro, small, and medium enterprises wider access to tools for improved payment processing and operational efficiency.
