Hewlett-Packard (HP) organized the HP Mobile Innovations Tour, to showcase concepts around the future of mobile communications in India. According to HP, these conceptual creations represent a vision for the 2012 time frame where devices are function-specific and provide an 'always connected' experience.

The showcase includes gadgets such as a personal wireless gateway device in a wearable watch-like form factor. The device acts as the central wireless hub, containing the access technologies or radio to enable a connected environment.

Another concept unveiled at the event is a flexible, portable, personal size display mat that is 'always on' and ready to connect to the wireless hub/watch. A larger mat can be used to access services such as games or content better suited for a larger display.

Also unveiled, was a thin-client device in a tablet form factor that can take on the personality of the user, based on 'personal wireless gateway' information.

HP unveiled a digital wallet that displays up-to-the-moment transactions for a wide variety of personal services such as checking, credit cards, a thin tablet device, a pen device offering multiple options for input and an ultra thin and light notebook.
