The Nokia (News - Alert) N95 8GB has become the first ever mobile phone to receive Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) certification.

 

DLNA, a body advocating the interoperability of wired and wireless consumer devices, has certified the Nokia N95 8GB as a Mobile Digital Media Server, an acknowledgment that taps into the genius of this multimedia computer. Boasting extensive connectivity and cutting-edge media capabilities, the Nokia N95 8GB is ideal for enjoying content, such as music, photos, or videos, wirelessly on other devices in the home environment.

 

Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president, Markets, Nokia said they are thrilled to receive this tribute from the DLNA. He noted this masterpiece of a multimedia computer is a prime example of the direction mobility is taking.

 

“It’s personal, powerful and fits seamlessly into your life inside and outside the home,” he said.

 

For the consumer, the DLNA certification translates into convenient and intuitive connectivity between their DLNA Certified home electronics devices, personal computers, and their Nokia N95 8GB.

 

Nokia explains that the DLNA technology enables multi-vendor home ecosystems of consumer devices by building a common connectivity platform for a variety of multimedia experiences. Although DLNA has already certified over 1,800 products in the personal computer and consumer electronic categories, this is the first time the stringent guidelines for interoperability set by the DLNA have been met by a mobile phone.

 

The Nokia N95 8GB has up to eight gigabytes of built-in memory and can hold a vast selection of users’ favorite media content. People can share these with their friends and family on a DLNA Certified home entertainment system and enjoy their photos on a full-sized TV screen or jam to those tunes on their home stereo system. This can be done by sharing the content wirelessly from their Nokia N95 8GB.
