another positive step.... can't wait for BB 10 and OS2.0
First :p

I've practically been assuming it WILL be on OS 2.0. This bit of news leads me to doubt it, though, unfortunately. Sounds like it's just "in the works," while 2.0 is fully baked by this point.

Can DLNA be activated via only a software update or does it require certain hardware capabilities?

software

Then an update MAY be released to OS 7 as well?

Awesome news :)

I hope DLNA comes as part of playbook OS 2.0

Does this mean Itunes movies and videos will be on playbook, or they still are DMR protected by Apple?

UMMMM Really??? DNLA is completely different than DMR. So no, movies and videos from Itunes will NOT work. And never will.

DLNA is a standard like metric and imperial system for calculations, DLNA is a set of rules for companies that manufacture AV devices. If a company make their products DLNA compatible, two or more products made by completely different companies can communicate with each other. Example of this would be, you can buy a Sony system and send music wireless using wifi or Bluetooth from you Blackberry to Sony.

I have a Windows Server at home with DLNA which communicate with PlayStation and xBox.

They bought NewBay so this kind of thing should be happening anyhow.
Speaking of which, what do they plan to do with those guys anyway?

Would be awesome if RIM could bake DLNA support into BlackBerrys out of the box... I miss the days where I could control a TVs in bars with my Palm.

haha! That sounds like fun...imagine the fun you could have in a sports bar during a championship game lol

Sweet!!! Can't wait to see it on the PlayBook. I'm also glad they posted this on the main Page.. Definitely news worthy.

 
 
Posted by mavricxx Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 100 days ago

RIM, please add DLNA to the PlayBook and BB10 devices!!!

 
 
Posted by lnichols Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 100 days ago

It will be introduced in BB11 and Tablet OS 3.0.

Your Moma is plugged into my DLNA right now. Trolling..trolling..trolling, kiss my a.. keep going..rawhide

Wow I don't think even my two sons that I gave Blackberry devices to are this immature. I weep for the future. As a longtime Blackberry user and Playbook owner I have found that sarcasm makes dealing with RIM's failed deliveries easier. I guess anyone who says anything negative is a Troll.

*ahum* it's already in leaked 7.1.258, still not have the certification stamp on it.

Love IT! Perfect feature for them. I Already love the Wireless music Sync on my 9850 - but this will take it to a whole new level!

next up USB ON THE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I am almost certain DLNA was promised for the original release of the Playbook. Here we are nearly a year later. Really hope this happens. Can't wait to stream movies from my Windows Home Server to my Playbook.

 
 
Posted by Nightfox111 Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 99 days ago

Great news... now I can stream from my DNS-323 NAS to my playbook, just like on my ps3, but portable.

 
 
Posted by fanatical Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 99 days ago

haha, this is great news. hoping we'll see this in OS2 or shortly there after. Will be one more thing knocked off my wish list :) Two more to go. Go RIM !!!

 
 
Posted by jonty12 Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 99 days ago

It's in 7.1! see the discussion thread

 
 
Posted by ibeengineer Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 99 days ago

maybe these digital living people don't use email....

 
 
Posted by saudadeii Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 99 days ago

If you look at the source screen and actually execute the search on RIM, it says no results found,

 
 
Posted by Superfly_FR Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 99 days ago

yes, no DEVICE listed.
Yet, RIM is a member of the alliance ... You'll find on the thread several more screen shots and answers from dlna.org on facebook.
