Why is it a smartphone
I think he was referring to the MP3 players they make that are mini kosher smartphones.
They are not kosher smartphones at all
The Q series can access full internet
Can you explain?
When you said mp3’s that are mini kosher smartphones, which mp3’s were you having in mind?
Their newest models have Candy Crush and Subway Surf - all marketed to eager kids and clueless parents.
I got a call from a woman the other day asking if I could kosher this device that her kid got from Mishkan Yosef, it has games, and apps, her kids are busy with it the whole day, she isn’t okay with it…
(I directed her to TechNowledge, which I know has some sort of shaychus with Samvix, and can reflash devices to different levels of kashrus)
I’m in middle of working on my own Android mp3 for kids, and it will NOT have games or picture capability.

Do you know the model name?
iPlarinum Q6.
That device has full internet if you know where to find it…
They’re definitely not supposed to have internet access.
My parents heard from tag that they don’t recommend getting any of Samvix’s Android MP3 players, because they’ve all been hacked, and with each new release, Samvix promises that this one is better, and can’t be hacked, and then someone hacks it.
(They said this at the point when the Q4 was their newest model, so I’m not saying that any device from the Q4 or on has been or could be hacked.)
Please do not post any info about hacking any of these or other devices.

I am just saying that I know personally that the Q6 has the same issue
Tag strongly discourages getting ANY android mp3’s
Not just from samvix

There aren’t any even supposedly kosher Android MP3’s besides for Samvix’s.
And…?
Are you selling it?
That is exactly why I did not say anything about ksher
Just pointed out that tag doesn’t say it specifically by smavix (and btw there are other AOS-based mp3’s that are somewhat locked down…)
A somewhat locked down device by a non Jewish company is almost always not secure or kosher.
(And I have seen one that is more secure than Samvix)
Far as I know the Q4 is not possible to be hacked I had one and tried to… Didn’t work
Actually there might be one other way that I didn’t try but whatever.
The new timmkoo has not been hacked YET I’m not saying it is unhackable
Q4 has been hacked too
