The Russian blogger who leaked the state sanctioned DPRK Red Star Linux OS is wowwing us again with another modern technological leap from the DPRK. The device functions as most traditional Personal Digital Assistant devices do, offering music and video playback, USB connectivity to Windows or Linux PCs, mapping applications, games, dictionaries and more. From the impressions in the blog post, this device would have the capability of a Palm Pilot release from ~2004. As mobile cellphones bring about a technical renaissance in Pyongyang, it is likely that only the higher class citizens could afford the reported $140 (USD?) pricetag for the device.
