Android Tablet Gives Rare Glimpse At North Korean Tech
alphadogg writes "An Android tablet brought back from North Korea by a tourist has provided a glimpse at some of the restrictions placed on IT users in the famously secretive country. The Samjiyon is the third tablet to have gone on sale in North Korea. It was unveiled at a trade show in the capital, Pyongyang, last September and received some coverage on state television, but few westerners have had a chance to see it up close. The tablet was likely manufactured outside of North Korea and the hardware itself is fairly unremarkable, but the software and the usage restrictions placed on the device provide some insights about life in the country."
It's so restricted that the submitter couldn't.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Still less restrictive than a Windows Surface

He/she was probably referring to the restrictions being put inside those tablets, and probably some big brother-style tech embedded in them
... what, are they running iOS then?
Oh look a puff piece on a disgusting regime. Anything that could give this government even a shred of legitimacy should be boycotted.
