Dells Chromecast Competitor Surfaces at the FCC

Project Ophelia, the Dell-made HDMI dongle that allows users to turn their displays and televisions into Android-powered devices, has surfaced at the FCC. That could mean the company is preparing to launch the device any day now.

According to the paperwork filed with the United States Federal Communications Commission, users can look forward to Project Ophelia, or what these documents refer to as the Dell Wyse Cloud Connect, having support for Bluetooth wireless connections and Wi-Fi standards when it launches. The two technologies should allow users to connect to the internet and wireless accessories like Bluetooth keyboards and mice.

These documents also indicate that Dell has packed in more than a few features that allow users to treat the Wyse Cloud Connect like any other computing device. These features include a microSD card slot that users can add more storage to the device over time and USB ports so that it can draw power from any television set that already has a USB port.
