The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) has released its first specification to “define the design principles necessary to move content (movies, music and other media) from one consumer electronics, personal computer or mobile product to another in a wired or wireless home network.” DLNA is led by 16 founding members including Fujitsu, HP, Intel, IBM, Kenwood, Lenovo, Microsoft, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, STMicroelectronics and Thomson. Apple, which produces the world’s No. 1 portable music player, is notably absent from the list of more than 145 global companies in the group.
