HP has unveiled its vision of the next generation of gadgets, all connected to a personal hub. The hub is a pocket-sized device which never leaves the user and which will manage what spectrum the devices use and connect them to the most appropriate, as well as governing personal information and profiles.
One concept HP's boffins are already working on is the wireless table. When the personal hub - here, in the form of a watch (pictured on the table) - is placed on it, the table acts as a thin client, displaying information or games and movies. The dip in the table is a docking station for a laptop - not only enabling data to be transferred between the two but also charging the computer.
