Dell is one of those PC companies that is always trying in making a move to simply takeout the “companies private in a leveraged buyout” so it can clear out the decks for a radical repositioning of the company. And due to the news of the Atlantic Medias Quartz all of this includes the re-launching of Dell’s mobile and desktop business around a new kind of product that is a device which sells for an amount of $50 and is just a size of a thumb drive.
This Pocket client PC that Dell has planned for its customers is known as “project Ophelia” which was demonstrated by Dell on the 8th of January 2013 at the CES. This device was specifically developed by the Dell’s Wyse unit, and it uses up a MHL (Mobile High Definition Link) to give it power so that it can boot from an HDTV display or it can simply be powered though a USB port. The Ophelia has the capabilities of both Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi so a mouse, keyboard and a network can easily be attached to it. While the operating system that runs on it is the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean that includes all the functions you see within a tablet and huge options of Android apps within the Google Play store. While other power options that you also can have for the Ophelia is through the virtual assistance of any kind of other desktop operating system on either a cloud or a remote server, this minuses the requirement of the need for batteries to run the device.
It was said by the principal analyst of Reticle Research, Ross Rubin, that “the Ophelia is primarily intended to allow IT managers to securely manage basic computing tasks for what could be a large number of employees using either desktop monitors or notebooks while bypassing the native operating system on those Netbooks” it was also quoted by him “it is really designed to interact with enterprise cloud services and virtualized environments”.
