This is just saying it has all of the necessary IN BUILT functions to qualify to a certain standard - it's not any new protocol - just a 'yardstick' (for our US friends - see how cultured I am!) for measuring the usefulness in terms of interactivity of a device when looking to integrate into your digital lifestyle.
I was thinking about rigging up some plumbers nightmare to automatically shift videos from my bittorrent machine to my '95 so I can watch them on the bus in the mornings, if the new 8GB version makes this easier then Bring It On.

Unlikely!

I saw this on my phone, mmm, so...
Can I play music on my phone off the network? NO!
Can I play videos off my network? NO!
Can I make my phone that has 8gb as a server instead of my 1tb NAS storage? YES!
Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.

Why, what's so bad about UPnP? (I'm not defending it - I've never tried to use it, but have been toying with the idea for media server... )
call me scruffy
I have to admit that I like this. #

I can copy msuic, videos,and photos over from my EyeConnect equipped imac to my N95 8Gb fine!
I can even play music directly off my N95 from the Netgear Radio I have too :-)
Not only that, my Ps3 connects to both too!
All excellent!

RTFM mate, I can quite happily do those. Don't knock the product because you can't be bothered to learn how to use it

Rubbish, still. #

Actually the phone cannot play music on itself from these "Home Networks", Look at the AAS forums and you will see others can confirm this.
