HP ‘Always Connected’ Concepts
26th April 2007
At an event held in Mumbai, HP showcased some concepts which are a part of HP Mobile Innovations Tour. The concepts are scintillating and represent HP’s vision for 2012. All the devices will be able to communicate with each other, thus giving an always connected experience.
Wireless Gateway/Hub: The wireless gateway is the core for giving an ‘always connected’ experience. This watch like form factor will connect devices likes laptops, PC etc.
Smart Shelf: Now the smartness factor of this shelf is that it charges the watch when placed on it and displays information stored in the watch.
Media Mat: This mat can be twisted, folded and can be placed anywhere. The mat connects with the help of the wireless gateway (watch) to connect to various services such as games (Monopoly?) or for content suited for larger display.
Laptop: This needs no description. It will be the next generation laptop. Ultra slim and light weight.
Digital Wallet: the digital wallet will be able to display real time transactions done with credit cards and others.
Tablet: Another next generation device from HP. This tablet will be super thin with prolonged battery life and will have web based content and applications instead of memory based.
Pen: It could write on any surface. Now you don’t need paper to copy important numbers or notes. Just write it anywhere you like and the data will be stored in the pen itself.

I heard people talking about concepts like this “media mat” 5 years ago. Don’t really understand why it is not there yet and this is still a concept.

The watch looks like a rejected prop from Star Trek. The keyboard of the laptop would probably be horrible to actually type on and as for a ’smart shelf’ that charges and display content stored on mobile devices - I already have one of those. It’s called a PC.
