20100905_IFA_Optimus LG has announced the DLNA feature officially for their upcoming smartphone, the LG Optimus 7.

The press release is below:

Sep. 6th, 2010 — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing a major breakthrough in mobile and home convergence at this year’s IFA trade show in Berlin. The new technology makes it possible to share multimedia files on LG’s upcoming LG Optimus 7 and all DLNA compliant digital devices at the touch of a finger.

LG’s unique multimedia sharing technology on LG Optimus 7 allows users to enjoy content on the phone across today’s digital platforms with a simple finger flick. This preinstalled feature allows users to send files directly from the phone’s media galleries, without having to leave for another application. The phone will automatically display compatible devices in the same Wi-Fi zone and let users literally flick media files to the targeted device. Users can transfer multimedia saved on their phones — 720p HD videos, high-resolution photos and high-quality music files — wirelessly to their TV or home theater system.

"This unique feature is a direct response to the growing need for technologies that empower users to share multimedia content across electronic devices," said Mr. Seong-jin Park, Vice President of Mobile Handset R&D Center at LG Electronics Inc. "LG Optimus 7 smartphones will be at the center of a complete entertainment experience, representing LG’s leadership in mobile convergence."

This unique media file-sharing technology will be embedded in upcoming LG Optimus 7 smartphones, which go on sale early in the fourth quarter of this year. With more than 240 leading consumer electronics brands adopting the media sharing technology, DLNA is expected to set a new industry standard for home entertainment.

LG is demonstrating this DLNA-based multimedia sharing feature at the LG booth at IFA in Berlin, Germany from September 3-7, 2010.

Cool That looks like it will be a really neat thing to have.

The question is whether this will include DRM-laden Zune Marketplace videos. My guess is it won't, and it's too bad Microsoft didn't have enough time to put in Zune HD's TV-out into the final fall release of Windows Phone 7

It should work with an xbox 360 and other windows media center extenders.

What's troubling about that press release above is that there isn't a single mention anywhere that the LG Optimus 7 is running the upcoming Windows Phone 7. LG is making this purely a technology demonstration and nothing more.
