HP turns the tables: HP unveiled its vision of the next generation of gadgets at the beginning of the month.

The gadgets are centred around a personal hub: a pocket-sized pod that never leaves the user, overseeing their personal information, profiles and managing what spectrum the devices use and connects them to the most appropriate.

HP's boffins are busy working on a wireless table (pictured) with the dip providing a docking station for a laptop. When the personal hub – here, in the form of a watch on the table – is plonked on it, the Ikea-esque table acts as a thin client, displaying games, movies or other info.
