Support Windows 8 RT for Surface Tablet and Windows Phone 8 for Mobile Devices
This is not a full windows 8 platform but will work new surface tablet and Samsung and others plan to use this OS which is not fully windows 8 compatible. It would be very helpful if sonos would support this as the tablet looks promising.

I will not buy Sonos until it has the Windows 8 app.. Please support Windows ecosystem!
how much interest needs to be rasied for this to go from under consideration to development? The Windows 8 RT and WP8 market is growing and a fully working app would be awesome to use on these devices. Please start some development on this ASAP.
I would love being to control my Sonos setup from my Surface RT tablet. I even would like to develop or contribute to a Sonos Controller app for the Windows Store! Sincerely, A Windows developer
Can you please do this asap as my wife is laughing with my windows phone. Can' t bear it any longer!
I just started to use Lumia 820 WP8 phone. It would so cool to control also Sonos by using the phone. At the moment I need to use old Anroid phone for it. Also NFC support for playing music from Nokia phone would be cool to have.
I too have the Surface RT and would love an interface. Now where are those Sonos headphones? My desired features: active noise reduction, flat black in appearance, easily recharged (maybe with either microUSB or integrated charging station (think Sennheiser).
Windows 8 (phone and RT) app. PLEASE!!!

Whats your answer ??
We have been looking for a whole home audio solution and Sonos seems to be the product that fits our needs. The only thing holding us back is the lack of support for Windows 8 RT and Windows Phone 7/8. Please support these growing segments in the near future.
I was just about to preorder my first Sonos product, the Playbar, but I'm glad I checked out the support first. Since you are still only 'considering' WP8 support, I cannot justify a purchase of this product.

Millions of people in the World are using Windows Phone and Windows RT for Surface. What are you waiting for? Please add app for these devices. But, if you had to prioritize, it's more important to add XBOX Music / Zune to your services. thank you.
I asked @sonos about this on Twitter and was directed here to "add my feedback". Windows phone 8 / RT etc would be ideal platforms for a Sonos app I think, and I'm sure would be something Microsoft would support (even assist with - they're really keen to get high profile brands on board). Would really like to see a clearer message than "considering"...

I must say I'm disappointed to see that Sonos is still only "considering" if they should support Windows 8 or not. If they decide on supporting the platform it will propably be a few month to release date (minimum). Windows 8 didn't come as a big surprise, it's been available to Sonos for more than year now. It's a fact that a lot of units will be using Windows 8. I could of course buy an apple device with the sole purpose of using it as remote but that is fairly stupid as the whole point of Sonos is making "every device a remote" (or "anything but microsoft" a remote?). I would love to extend my Sonos system and to recommend it to other people but as it is right now _I'm considering_ my alternatives. I'm not going to invest anything in a product that doesn't support Windows 8.
I was just reading about the playbar which looks very nice, but until there is a guarantee of Windows Phone 8 support i cannot commit to purchasing any more Sonos products. I expect that is a common scenario for many windows phone/rt users. Also i choose to use Windows Phone, i also have an iPhone (though now gathering dust in a cupboard). So please hurry and release an app so us M$/Sonos users can get back to having a convenient system. Thanks.
A Windows Phone 8 (WP8) app should be next in line, come on Sonos some 3rd party people have made apps already, how hard can an official app be? Please Sonon

Need Win Phone 8 control. I currently have to use my wifes/daughters iphones to control my own system. How depressing is that???

Come on, I have been waiting 2 years for a windows phone app, do we have to wait another 2 years for a windows 8 app?
Please add support for Windows RT and Windows 8 "metro". Thanks.

His English may not be very good but he makes a fair point.
yes, thats correct. but the android app released after 1 year later than the iphone app... and now, i'm waiting sooo long for the windows phone 7 app, or now the windows phone 8 and windows rt app
Seen only on Apple? Huh-wha? I don't know if you noticed, but there is also a Sonos Android app for phones and tablets, which even has some features the Apple apps do not (direct connect to Sonosnet, Widget/Announcements for the app).
please create a windows rt and windows phone 8 app. i hate the pro apple. I find it worrying that is seen only on Apple. Microsoft has created excellent products. Why not collect with companies such as SONOS? Working only APPLE fans in Santa Barbara?
I bought my Sonos a couple of months ago and I really like. The PC controller software works fine but an App for Windows 8/RT and Windows Phone 7/8 would make the Sonos user experience even better, a lot better! Sonos, please, please... 🙂
How long can it take? I have my windows 8 phone but have had to keep my iPhone as a sonos controller! Ridiculous, i'ts just an app. Please sort this asap. Thanks.
