North Korean Company Ignores Apple Trademarks and Launches Tablet Called 'Ryonghung iPad'

One of the more bizarre features of this tablet is the comprehensive logging feature, which, presumably can be used by secret police or informants to confirm counter revolutionary activity.
A second app called “Trace Viewer” works with Red Flag and allows users to browse through the history recorded by Red Flag. The screenshots can be seen along with details of everything the user has been doing. This app ensures that none of this data can be manually deleted and allows the records to be exported and reviewed at a later point.
Trace Viewer is clearly provided to show users that everything they do is recorded and to remind them that anything done on the tablet can be found out by the government, said Grunow.

This is for the extremely wealthy only. Those who can afford to eat every day.
Those horrible slow small tablets with keyboards that connect via a USB cable and case used to be all the rage on eBay about 5 years ago. Glad to see NK is catching up in the technology department.
Here's something similar.

Good luck getting tech support and service on that. 
Does this represent state of the art in North Korea? If so, that's pretty sad.

8GB hard disk??
For real?
Do they really mean an 8GB spinner? Or flash?

Koreans are quite insensitive to capitalization in English, as the Korean syllabary (or alphabet, if you want to go that way) doesn't have any sense of capital or lowercase. The whole iPad/IPad/Ipad thing is pretty common in South Korea as well.
And if you're the poor fool who points out something so trivial as a capitalization error in Korea, you'll be seen as unnecessarily nitpicky.
It is getting popular with customers. The ad copy said so. Twice.
It's not the laypersons that know about Apple and iPads: It's the leaders. And they have to be hip with the squares and show everyone that they're still relevant. Even if it means not feeding 1000 families with the R&D costs.
I would say this is the art on North Korea, but they also have an OS that rips the UI from Apple.
Apple should really sue. All three North Koreans you would have bought an iPad will buy this device instead. The loss of revenue...

But nobody in China would buy this. Putting an iPad sticker on it won't help.

Until you get hungy and start looking for a place to eat.
not be allowed to register it might be true. I would imagine that a government like NK would love to refuse to approve a registration by a US company given all the sanctions against trade etc with the country.
Hmm, I wanna try Red Star Linux. Maybe its desktop interface will be better than the crappy new Ubuntu Unity or whatever it's called desktop.

That one actually looks kinda sleek.

I want to try making a country that straight up has Mario as the flag. What's Nintendo going to do about it?
North Korea is like a real life Panem, accept with no Capitol. It's hard to believe some of the things you hear about it.
