An independent press reporting on North Korean newsNK NewsAccording to North Korea's "Ryonghung" company released "iPad" is a low-power machine with a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 1 GB of memory (RAM) and 8 GB of storage (ROM) . The main difference with the original iPad is that the keyboard and the HDMI terminal are included.

According to NK News, Ryonghung's products are equipped with "more than 40 applications", and some of these applications require loading via SD cards. Also, although it seems that the iPad of North Korea has a network connection function, it seems that there is a high possibility that it is necessary to connect to an intranet subject to severe restrictions.

Although it looks a little similar this time, I borrow the name of the iPad as it is, it is clear that North Korea has a strong attachment to Apple.

Apple will compete with Chinese companies for trademark rights of "iPad" in 2012 and ultimately will cost $ 60 million (approximately 4.8 billion yen at that rate)Accepting payment to settledoing. It would have been unexpected that at that time Apple would have been used for North Korea "iPad" trademark protected with a large amount of money.
