The Samjiyon tablet computer (Korean: 판형 콤퓨터 삼지연; MR: p’anhyŏng k’omp’yut’ŏ samjiyŏn) is a North Korean Android tablet computer developed by the Multimedia Technology Research Institute of the Korea Computer Center. It is the first North Korean tablet able to receive television broadcasts.[1][3][4][5][6][7][2] It is named after the Samjiyon lake. Samjiyon includes a browser with a support for the North Korean Kwangmyong intranet. However, there is no Wi-Fi support.[1]
