Dell has also updated its Android-based, thumb-size PC called Wyse Cloud Connect -- widely known as Project Ophelia.
The US$129 Cloud Connect looks like a USB stick and can turn any TV or display into a PC. The device runs on Android OS and once plugged in through an HDMI port, allows users to run applications, play games, watch streaming movies or access files stored in the cloud. Users can download applications from Google Play Store. It comes with an updated user interface and may be used as a tablet device, or as a virtual desktop.
