Mediastreamer - New application from Nokia
 

I found the following information from the tableteer-Enhance page.

A stream of music from your PC to your 770

Think of the music you have stored on your home PC. Now you can easily access it with your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.

Media Streamer application enables listening to the music stored on your PC, in practically which ever corner of your home you like. Switch on the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet and choose your favorite songs shown on your device from the PC to play them.

Nokia 770 Internet Tablet is enabled with UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) technology, which makes possible a new way to have your home devices working seamlessly together.

Give it a try!
We will show you in 3 easy steps how to listen to the music from PC with your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.

NOTE! The devices must be connected to the same WLAN access point.

For this set-up you need Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, a PC and a functioning WLAN access point.

STEP 1
Download and install a mediaserver to your PC. Mediaserver is software for sharing content from your PC. You can do it e.g. with software called SimpleCenter. Download SimpleCenter to your PC from www.simplecenter.com/nokia

STEP 2
You need software in your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet to browse and play the shared content from PC. Install Media Streamer to your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet for this purpose. Please follow these instructions to install the application:

1. Tap and select Tools > Application manager

2. Tap Install new applications

3. Find Media Streamer from the list and tap it twice to install it. If you don’t see Media Streamer on the list, please refresh the list from Application manager > Tools > Refresh list of packages

STEP 3
Open Media Streamer in your Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. Browse and choose the music you want to listen and just play it.


Enjoy.

I saw that the other day too and installed it. It has a pretty cool UI but I have no clue what media it is supposed to stream from where :]

This is interesting. I definately like the UI [the horizontal sliding rocks, very nice idea]. I guess we'll have to wait until Nokia makes an official announcement.

I wish the normal media player was like this. It would make it way easier to pick out local media files and playlists with your fingers.

Perhaps this is a hint of things to come.

"Media Streamer is a UPnP AV control point and player application."

Man, I wish I would have come up with this UI a while back. This is very slick.

Where did you guys find this? Don't see it on Maemo...

It shows up in the Application Manager. I don't know the exact repository it's from but here's a link to point you in the right direction.
