After all these years, Dell is still capable of surprising not only its fans but also the market. Its cloud-based service called Dell Wyse is currently focusing on user security. On the other hand, it also believes that lugging around a heavy laptop is not very much practical at this day and age. With this, it has taken on the Project Ophelia which is actually a very portable Android stick which is capable of using any monitor or HDTV as a display screen. The official press release even promises that the device will be easily kept inside a user’s pocket.

You may be thinking that other similar products have already been introduced in the market and so what is the difference with this one. Apparently, the Project Ophelia does not pack internal memory but instead, accesses a cloud server where you can save all your files and data, away from physical security risks.

Other features of the Project Ophelia include gaming, typing or note-taking and displaying presentations.

More details about the product is quite scarce as of now. The company is probably still trying to iron out all the kinks. As for availability, Dell is set to release the device during the first or second quarter of 2013. Pricing has yet to be announced.
