Wifi Direct Certification for Blu Ray Player

LG Blu Ray PlayerLG's BD690 is the first wifi direct certified blu-ray player, according to a Wifi Alliance release.

One supposes it is a successor to LG's BD390, the discontinued blu-ray player and multimedia hub. The wifi-enabled device connects to broadband routers to stream online content from services like Youtube and Netflix as well as from any DLNA device connected to users' broadband router.

No details are availabe yet, but it should have built-in software to facilitate streaming from PC, tablet or phone-- only one device needs to be wifi direct certified to enable direct connection with other wifi devices.
