is there going to be option to play music direct from android devices rather than have an external source?

Nice, so this summer we will be able to stream music from our Android devices. Good to see.
This summer? Where do you get that impression from? John M didn't give any timeframe.

I've been watching most feature requests over here for the last 1,5 years and switching it to planned usually ment I would take around 4 months to release a feature. I guess it could be quicker because they have got this feature allready working on iOS machines so they could use knowledge from that. A little wrap up, nobody said something about an ETA I just told my opinion based on earlier feature request. Sonos will never give you an ETA.

I know Sonos don't give ETAs, I've been an owner for a long time and the one thing I've learned is never make any predictions about how long a feature might take to arrive. People were asking for an Android controller for well over a year before it arrived.

This is great news that I'm sure a lot of customers will really appreciate, and that many expect out of the box. Let's hope this can be rolled out quickly:-)

This is great news!! Perfect timing! I almost gave up on a Sonos purchase, as I was believing that Sonos was really an Apple only accessory, to reluctantly settle for an inferior speaker solution. In the meantime, whilst awaiting development to stream from Android device to multiple Sonos devices, at least I can still stream to single Sonos devices using third party apps, like BubbleUPnP or Twonky Beam, as mentioned on this forum. Wireless, networked and internet connected, Sonos provides an excellent solution. As an Android user, cannot wait to connect my Samsung devices to Sonos. I would also like to see Google Music or Amazon Cloud Music. It is most concerning that vendors and Sonos marketing imply that these are available, judging by customer feedback. Clearly if customers are being clearly misled, this would be an issue for Trading Standards. It would be useful, especially for first time buyers to be able to buy with confidence and have access to accurate marketing in-store and via website. Thank you.

Judging by the Trading Standards comment you're in the UK. The Sonos UK website (set your location at the top of the page) makes NO mention of Amazon Cloud support or Google Music, so I don't know why you think Sonos is mis-leading you.

Just that some other forum member (see letter to Currys) found that to be the case in vendor stores i.e Currys. Perhaps they do not clearly understand Sonos marketing. I stand corrected re Sonos website - thank you. Point is, that it is concerning if Sonos vendors are not marketing the product correctly or the info is inaccurate, in terms purchasing confidence.

I think that was more to do with setting up a phone so that it looked like it was playing wirelessly when it wasn't (probably just had an audio cable from the phone to the Sonos unit), rather than references to online services. I very much doubt Sonos would have been aware of what they were doing though (and I've never seen that myself, every demo system I've seen in a big store was playing in the manner I'd expect, from central storage such as a NAS or server).

The initial part of the forum entry referred to setup, but the end of the entry included email to Currys about misleading information on Google Music or Amazon Cloud Music, with a link to the misleading website. This is what I was referring to - I have also seen entries relating to misleading in store sales info at John Lewis relating to Android capabilities. Consistent sales and marketing info in-store and on-line can only be a good for users and ultimately Sonos.

I know just like going from the Android portrait to an Android Landscape(tablet) app. But overall other features over here took around 4 to 5 months from there status changed to planned to it being released(as beta). Nonetheless it could just as well take a year just like you said.
