    Apple May Lose To Android In Device-Based Media Management

    For Apple iPhone and iPad owners with an Apple TV, the AirPlay function is one of those you-have-to-see-this gadget showcases. A tap of an icon on a device sends the current video, audio or slide show playing on the AirPlay-ready compatible IOS app to your big-screen TV or home theater. Cool -- if you have the requisite Apple-certified hardware. Android owners don't get such an easy path to media-sharing goodness.

    But an open DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) standard is emerging among all the other hardware makers that might give Android the upper hand here. In a new report from IMS Research, the mobile analysts see device-based media management as the next big living-room thing -- and it may leave Apple behind.

    The DLNA says it certified over 1,000 TV models in Q1 2011 that support the standard, which like AirPlay, lets the user of a mobile or laptop device send their media to the TV. Most of the major manufacturers producing connected TVs with the built-in WiFi-enabling technology are in the coalition -- from Samsung to Sony, LG to Sharp.

    The standard is open, so any Android hardware manufacturer can embed a DNLA media server in its hardware to be compatible. This is the perfect way to get a leg up on Apple. IMS Research says that Apple is unlikely to embrace an open standard like DLNA. Apple's insistence on sticking with its own proprietary AirPlay system could cede much of the emerging media-sharing market to Android.

    And that could prove to be a large market.

    IMS suggests that the increased inclusion of DLNA support on smartphones will help drive awareness of the function. "We also expect to see a new culture of video portability emerge from that awareness," says senior analyst Stephen Froelich. For those markets that adopt the standard across devices, "the smartphone essentially becomes a personal ID key that unlocks a consumer's access to his or her own cont

    Yawn. My tv and ps3 both have DLNA and it works beautifully in concert with my free Mediashare app. I can stream music, pics and movies with no additional hardware.

    Multiple supply chain vendors indicate a 25% cut for 4Q11 iPad sell-in orders (first cut ever that we have seen) in the past two weeks, which would mean that Hon Hai’s iPad shipments may be down 25% quarter-over-quarter in the fourth quarter of 2011 (from sell-in of 17 million in 3Q11 to 13 million in 4Q11).

    Our understanding is that this is not in preparation for a new model launch (which may have to wait until March-12).

    Note that JPMorgan US analyst, Mark Moskowitz, who covers Apple, is expecting only 10.9 million and 12 million units of iPad shipments in calendar year 3Q and 4Q11 and does not expect the supply chain adjustments to result in downside to his estimates.


    Apple was one of the biggest drags on the Nasdaq, falling
    2.1 percent to $395.73 after an analyst said the iPhone maker
    was cutting orders from suppliers of parts for its iPad tablet.




    Not sure where you got this (but definitely understand why you didn't source it), but 3Q numbers were announced a while back (July).

    Why is he looking like an idiot due to that post? I considered DNLA important when I just purchased my WD TV Live Plus and its one reason I never even considered Apple TV.

    there is a lot of money in selling apple accessories, i don't see airplay devices having a hard time making it to market. bridgeco already has their chips (which have been airplay compatible) in a lot of stuff like receivers.

    I think airplay is cool, but I would much rather have something like DNLA that is compatible across so many different pieces of hardware as opposed to something that means I have to have more Apple devices.

    Actually, Apple didn't downgrade his forecast for units sold. Rumor is that the lowering of parts order stems from Apple moving some of the iPad production to Brazil, and starting to lower inventory for the introduction of the next iPad.

    Like I said, rumor. Nobody knows what's Apple doing, not even the people that wrote what you posted.

    With Amazon launching their color Kindle next week, accelerating the introduction of a newer model isn't out of the question, tbh

    Ok. Well, (inhale) from a guy that's used apple products about 2 yearstotal in the 15 or so years I've used computers; and one that's publicly posted here a few times I want an android as my next phone(exhale) all that article stated was you need an apple product to stream files to your tv. That's the only that was stated. The article, that is. You stated nothing. You just copy-pasted it.

    Isn't the kindle a simple e-reader? Unless it's been bulked up, I don't see how a simple e-reader would scare apple to hurry up an iPad.

    no it didn't. It said DNLA is open and will be adopted by most manufacturers, and could possibly become the standard.

    take your Apple homer glasses off and read again.
