Dell Wyse, the company’s cloud services arm, is worried about your security. It’s also thinking that it’s time you didn’t need to drag that laptop wherever you go. As such, it’s working on Project Ophelia, a chunky Android stick that turns any HDTV or monitor into a display. What’s different to devices like FXI’s Cotton Candy, for instance, is that the hardware is a gateway to a cloud server where all of your content lives. Users can play games, display presentations or finish the last few lines of that essay wherever they are. The company isn’t talking about details (or how you’d control such a device), but it’s expecting to have it ready for prime-time by the summer.

[CES 2013] Cameras are usually rectangular-shaped, or at least for the most part, but it looks like Canon wants to shake things up a bit with the recently announced PowerShot N, which you can see from the image above has been designed in a square body, and unsurprisingly given its rather unique design, Canon is aiming this particular camera that photographers who want to shoot photos from interesting angles. This is possible thanks to the PowerShot N’s tilting touchscreen display, allowing to get down on the ground or up in the air and frame your shots more easily.

The PowerShot N will also rely on an interesting lens ring system which when twisted will activate the zoom function, while a second lens ring will act as a shutter release button, allowing you to operate the camera in various positions. The camera also comes with built-in WiFi, allowing the transfer of photos to smartphones or tablets, or even social networking sites in a short amount of time. The added GPS feature will allow you to share the location of where you took your photos from as well. Other features include a 12.1MP CMOS sensor, a DIGIC 5 processor, Full HD video capture and filters for some post-processing fun. Priced at $299.99, the Canon PowerShot N will go on sale in April later this year. [Press release]

[CES 2013] Back in November 2012, the Nikon D5200 camera was announced, although unfortunately it seemed that the release was for those living in Europe, Asia and Australia. Well the good news is that it looks like the rumors were right and US availability has since been announced at CES 2013. Just in case you might have forgotten, the Nikon D5200 is a 24.1MP camera with a DX-format CMOS sensor. It sports the new EXPEED 3 image processor for faster operations and better color reproduction, high ISO sensitivity, a 39-AF system shared by the Nikon D7000 series. It also features an LCD display which can swivel out, allowing photographers to snap from some pretty interesting perspectives.

Photographers will also be able to attach the WU-1A wireless mobile adapter to the camera, allowing the wireless transfer of photos from the camera to Apple and Android devices. As expected the D5200 will also be able to capture Full HD 1080p movies, and feature an updated new generation GUI design amongst other features. The Nikon D5200 is expected to be made available in the US late January 2013 and will be priced for around $900 which includes a 18-55mm kit lens.
