P.S. Do not use this "feature" to "distribute" your "application" "widely".

We managed to get our hands on a Samjiyon Tablet from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) a.k.a. North Korea.

These are not sold to foreigners.

For those curious: North Korea used to sell these tablets. They stopped selling them to foreigners in approx. 2014. We were able to find a person who owned a mint-condition, never used, Samjiyon Tablet. We purchased it off of them.
