Do you know what is DLNA? Yes. Some said DLNA or DNA?… I mean here is DLNA…. For sure DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. So many devices out there with DLNA certified.
How many smartphone users out there really use this function? If you involve in any product development as well software development the first thing you should know what the customer really want inside your product or software. For example, in Microsoft Words, how many functions you really touch and feel? Some said, I use font function or roughly it’s just around 5% – 10% for normal users.
Same with the smartphone. Do you really utilize the smartphone DLNA function as well…. Might be some people not really know the DLNA functions is existed in their device! That the worst case.
