Lacking a smart phone, I poked around the various menu option, the application halted and suddenly crashed. I suddenly found myself in a security hole where I could drop to a file explorer window. To my surprise, the device was running WIndows-Lite, a similarly primative OS. I could walk up and down the entire file tree, looking at the folder names. I could not see the contents but did have the odd privilege of making folders.
