Windows Phone 7 is getting more weaponry in its fight against the likes of Android and iOS4. We’ve just got word that the upcoming LG Optimus 7 will sport DLNA streaming, allowing you to beam its media content (720p video included) to any compatible gizmo on the same Wi-Fi network.
The LG Optimus 7 just got its first official airing via a DLNA-focussed press release, with LG keeping relatively schtum about the Windows 7 Phone handset’s other features and specifications. There’s no word on pricing either, and the release date is given as merely “the fourth quarter” of this year.
LG describes the LG Optimus 7’s DLNA skills as “unique”, as they work direct from the phones media gallery – there’s no need to open a separate application. The DLNA function comes preinstalled on the LG Optimus 7, and you can stream the files (movies, photos and music) via a single flick of your finger on the touchscreen.
LG’s press release quietly notes that the LG Optimus 7’s streaming talent is compatible with DLNA DMR (Digital Living Network Alliance Digital Media Renderer) devices only – in other words, home cinema systems and TVs equipped with DLNA skills.
