My Samsung Innov8 phone has a feature called “DLNA”. This is supposed to let you wirelesslessly connect your TV, cellphone, and pretty much everything else that may have wifi, together. Presumably, you can show pictures or video from your phone on your wifi-equipped TV. In theory. Of course, these grand connectivity schemes never work (bluetooth?).
My DLNA client is located in the cellphone’s “Applications” folder. When activated, it says version 1.0. That should tell you what you to expect. However, the DLNA logo is prominently displayed on the back of the phone, and on the box it came in. So I decided to try it. When launched, the client asks you for your wifi network name. After 3 tries, it managed to log in. The screen showed a status message that said “server active”. Nothing else happened. None of the other menu options suggested a way to use the client. Nor was there a brochure that came with the phone to explain what to do next. I wonder how much longer DLNA will survive as a labelled feature on cellphones: 1 more year, 2 years (my bet), or 5 years.
