Dell's Android-based PC on a stick is now available!

It's been a long time arriving, but it's finally here! Demonstrated over a year ago at the International CES trade show in Las Vegas under the code name ‘Project Ophelia', Dell's fancy Android-based Wyse Cloud Connect is finally available. Shipped by Dell at an introductory price of US$ 129, Wyse Cloud Connect offers users a mobile virtual desktop client.

The device, slightly larger than a USB stick, simply needs a computer display or a TV via MHL or HDMI, a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and is good to go! It is powered by a multicore ARM Cortex-A9 processor and runs Android 4.1. It offers 8 GB of integrated storage that is expandable via a MicroSD card slot. It has 1 GB RAM and supports a maximum resolution of 1080p. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Wyse Cloud Connect can be used to play games, watch streaming movies/TV programmes or simply for Web surfing. The advantage here is that you can do stuff you normally do on other Android-based devices with bigger screens.
