Probably a super-hardened (security-wise) OS for an iPod Touch-like "second device" intended for use primarily to arrange illicit assignations.
Very few apps available, all based on zero-knowledge protocols, and no apps that are capable of leaking your real-world identity through ordinary or casual use are allowed.
