A prototype of a Russian tablet, built using the Android-derived operating system RoMOS for the Russian Defense Ministry, which is apparently one featuring a physical disconnection of communication modules and sensors on demand.

The tablet can work 1 meter underwater for at least 30 minutes, functions in hot temperatures of up to +55 degrees Celsius, and is shock-resistant. An extra-tough variant fit for combat zone is available.

Other Russian sites report that a "secure" app store would accept only apps without access rights to personal data; whatever it means.

Is anything similar coming on western front?)
