HP has unveiled its vision of the future in a travelling roadshow which offers a glimpse into the technologies we will be using in five years time.

At the centre of HP's dream is the Personal Wireless Hub, which is a device you carry around with you and is designed to connect all of your wireless activities -- from your home Internet connection to your mobile. It's part-Bluetooth headset/part-personal router, and will come as either a watch or some other small device you carry in your pocket.

The other devices on display all fed information from this hub and included lightweight tablets, foldable digital paper and even a coffee table that doubles as a display.

Phil Devlin, HP's Asia-Pacific product marketing manager for mobile systems, showcased the future technologies last week at Home nightclub in Sydney.

      The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.
