Just came across this. Seems interesting.

“new immigrants can apply by phone for a tablet rental service that includes unlimited Internet access”
Will they require a guarantor for the rental service?
I tried it out, so you don’t have to.
As the laptops were all gone, I ordered a tablet.
They will send you an iPad, with mobile internet.
Downsides are that it is admin locked. One can not install any other apps, besides those which are preinstalled.
The only useful app is the safari browser to view websites. Basically it is a wifi hotspot that can display websites. I had little use for both as my phone was already covering that.
One can use it for two months. They will contact you and schedule a pickup day for the package. Just put it back in and tape it up.

Ok I’ve got to admit… that’s pretty 
I was ready to toss it out the window when I let my kids use it for a learning web portal. The page wanted a mouse right click for controls. Nothing was working to make it happen. And constantly unwanted gesture controls kept triggering and interfering. 
I am not a fan of Apple. This thing was not a walled garden, it was a gulag.

Interesting turn of events. They sent me a letter out of the blue.
It said I won one of decommissioned devices.
At first I thought it is kind of a scam as they ask for personal information for tax purposes as the prize is worth over 1000 NTD.
I double checked everything and it was legit.
Apparently I will be getting a free (old) iPad in December.

With the only useful app being Safari?
I assume it will be unlocked and factory reset. But I will shoot them an email to make sure it is.
Any update on it?
They said they will send it out in December. I will post an update then.
They called and said it would be mailed out on Friday Dec 12.
