A few shipping and soon-to-be released Eseries devices are now officially DLNA certified. This is perhaps the best proof that the Eseries more than just emails and documents.

A feature previously reserved for the Nseries, is now opening it’s doors for the E52, E55 and E72.

The irony of all this is the lack of the DLNA certification for the N97, a device designed with (social) media in mind, beaten by Eseries devices.

If you don’t know what DNLA is, be sure to check out this post.

The Nokia N86 8MP has now appeared on the official DLNA list of compatible devices, joining other DLNA-certified devices like the N82 and N95 8GB. This means that the N86 8MP is certified as a “Mobile Digital Media Server” and allow it share your media to other DLNA-certified products like printers or the PS3.

Speaking of DNLA certification, why hasn’t the N97 been certified yet? It even has the capable hardware and software, which makes it even stranger. Perhaps this is something we’ll see in the new firmware coming in October.

The video below gives you an idea of how DLNA works.
