Talking about interaction with TVs, etc. and hot on the heels of the Mobile World Congress, Nokia has finally released another missing piece of software for Windows Phone 8 - it's DLNA client for Lumia which is simply calls "Play To" again. Play To allows to share photos, videos and music from a supported Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 phone to DLNA-capable devices over WiFi. This could be one of the new and connected smart TVs, a simple Windows laptop and/or desktop or a Microsoft XBox. Since this is just the first release for Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 devices, it's called a public Beta but in terms of functionality, it has the same functionality as the Play To application for Windows Phone 7 based Lumia smartphones.

While Samsung's latest hero and focus device at the current Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is the company's new Note 8.0, Samsung is also showing its new HomeSync media hub solution which plays - well, as expected - quite nice with Samsung's own Galaxy smartphones. HomeSync, which runs on Android Jelly Bean, comes with a 1 TB drive that allows users to sync with multiple devices (from phones to tablets to PCs) and providing a shared and private storage space for all kind of content. It supports eight separate accounts to cover a whole family, and allows each user to upload and download content from multiple devices and instantly share with other family members.

At the current Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, ZTE joined the phablet bandwagon by introducing the ZTE Grand Memo. Running on Android 4.1, it features a 5.7", 720 x 1280 HD display and a powerful Qualcomm 800 processor with quad-core Krait CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. Combined with a 13 megapixel main camera, a 1 megapixel front-facing camera and 1080 HD video playback, it provides users a smooth, high quality multimedia experience that is perfect for gaming and video (but thanks to the size, for sure not as your average daily phone). The Grand Memo also includes a 3200 mAh battery for super-long standby time. Furthermore it comes with ZTE's custom Mifavor UI and LTE.

According to a now pulled article at CNet, LG said today that it was (or is?) acquiring webOS from Hewlett-Packard. However, unlike you might expect, the Korean electronic giant has no intentions to use it for mobile phones but instead it was said that LG will use it for its range of smart TVs. According to CNet, LG obtains the source code for webOS, related documentation, engineering talent and even related webOS Web sites. LG also gets HP licenses for use with its webOS products, and patents HP obtained from Palm. Skott Ahn, President and CTO of LG Electronics is quoted with a statement that "It (webOS) creates a new path for LG to offer an intuitive user experience and Internet services across a range of consumer electronics devices".
