Nokia N95 8GB becomes world's first DLNA certified phone
The Digital Living Network Alliance, long a territory of receivers, televisions, and other things that you don't put in your pocket, has taken the bold step of certifying Nokia's N95 8GB as a compliant Mobile Digital Media Server. What does that mean in practical terms? Well, Nokia clearly regards the N95 8GB as a multimedia powerhouse, and DLNA certification guarantees that the handset is going to be more than happy to serve up music, pics, and videos to other devices around the home. Nokia touts that it's an "active member" of the DLNA, so we'd be surprised if this was the last Nseries device to get blessed with the alliance's stamp of approval, too.

Yet another reason I'm getting this device...

Not very useful on a cell phone. On a laptop, definitely.

Two weeks ago I found out an extremely cool (and extremely useful too) thing I can do with DLNA. I can shoot a picture with my Nokia N82 (which has the same DLNA software as the N95 8GB), and immediately view it on my hdtv through the Sony PS3. No USB cable, no SD card reader needed; it's all in real time, through wireless. It's fantastic!

it is insane, with apps like mymobilesite.net and comvu.com
you can access all files/cameras/contacts/ or host a webpage on the phone.
or stream live video. (respectively)

I'm hoping the PSP gets DLNA streaming - IMHO, it's one of its biggest missing features.

to be honest, the DLNA certificate should be put on the N95-1 aswell.
