North Korea creates its own tablet called the iPad
« on: June 01, 2017, 04:25:46 pm »
A North Korean company has launched a new tablet. It's name? Why, the iPad of course.

Of course this product, created by a partially state-owned company called Ryonghung, is very different from the iPad sold elsewhere - and its Android operating system is far more limited than equivalents in other countries.

Users have a choice of 40 pre-installed apps; apparently these include a calculator, a health encyclopedia and an agricultural programme, which sound fun. The spec boasts of network connection capabilities, although you may have to log in to the North Korean intranet.

But you're interested in buying one of these gadgets, you'll be interested to know it has 1GB of Ram, 8GB of a storage and a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor. The iPad also has a HDMI port and a case with a keyboard.

Small observation. The advert for the "iPad" in the article is in English. So not only have they "made" a crappy rip off tablet - it's not even real.

Here is a pic of the new "iPad". It's a little clumsy right now but the NORKs claim they have a smaller version in the pipeline that can use colored chalk.....
