The answer? July. The Android pendrive / USB computer we saw back at CES (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/dell-project-ophelia/) may be one of many (http://www.engadget.com/tag/pendroid/), but distinctive thanks to its mainstream PC-maker origins. We're still lacking a lot of the specifics, other than that there's WiFi, Bluetooth, Wyse PocketCloud (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/16/pocketcloud-explore-arrives-for-android-enables-file-searching/) integration, plus, of course, HDMI and Android 4.something. There will likely be a few enterprise-friendly features too (administration tools, remote wiping) reports PC World. As usual, developers will get their hands on them first, with -- interestingly -- some cable and telecoms companies potentially stocking it too -- though no specifics at this time. So, the $100 Dell might not be the portable (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/15/dell-xps-10-price-cut/) you'd love for this price, but maybe the USB PC finally crossing over?
