The powers that be in North Korea don't seem to care about international conventions, so perhaps it is no surprise that they would stick their tongues out at trademark and patent violations. This time, the target is Apple. A tech company in the country, Ryonghung, has launched a tablet that it calls the Ryonghung iPad. This is obviously a rip off of the branding used by Apple for its tablets, right down to the use of the lower case "i" and capital "P." Considering that Apple introduced the tablet category back in 2010, there is no question which company used the name first. And of course, Apple has trademarked the name.
North Korea has ripped off Apple before with its version of the iMac that was pre-loaded with Red Star 3.0, a complete copy of OS X. The Ryonghung iPad comes with an unknown operating system and is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz CPU. The tablet also features 1GB of RAM and an 8GB Hard Disk. It offers a physical keyboard, an HDMI port and has over 40 pre-installed apps including one that can diagnose 1,200 ailments. Other programs can be added by inserting separate SD cards.

NK obviously doesn't give a shit about patents in the US or elsewhere and they don't need to since nobody can enforce patents there.
I'm sure this thing has surveillance out the ass.

I can see why the norks have nukes. Murica would invaded them already otherwise.
