North Korea developing smartphone applications...

North Korea has been making its own applications for smartphones.

A video that appeared on the video-sharing Web site YouTube on January 29th entitled “North Korean Android System for Smartphones” introduced North Korea’s smartphone application technology, which has rarely been seen before.

In the video, a North Korean professor said the Android system is dominant in smartphones around the world and North Korea is currently developing ways to bring the smartphones to North Korea.

The Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency said the video had been presumably shot in North Korea during the 22nd nationwide exhibition for programming, which started on October 27th.
