Dell introduced Project Ophelia to the world at CES back in January, and now it's revealed shipping timeframes for the Android-powered MHL stick. Ophelia will ship in May to developers, with cable providers and telecoms able to buy it in July. A consumer release will follow shortly thereafter. When it does ship, the tiny device (about the same size as a portable USB stick) will convert any HDMI-ready display into an Android computer. Naturally Google Play is built right in, so you'll have access to your entire library of Android software.
Cost: $100

I wonder what will Cable Providers, and telephone companies do with this mini PC in July. Would our future cable boxes and internet modems be mini PC sticks from Dell, but with modified operating systems, and more plugs?
I'm guesing this PC would be good for people who don't own a monitor, PC, but own a HDTV with a HDMI port, and just need a PC for web browsing, Android games, watching online and offline video, music, and office work.
$100 also makes this the same price as the Ouya Android console, so if this Android PC supports a wired or wireless Gamepad controllers it could make people buy this PC instead of the Ouya since it comes with Google Play built-in.
