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

I agree that this feature is absolutely needed for Android users. I just bought a Play:5 for Christmas and was let down when this feature wasn't present. I bought on a recommendation - but found out too late that they had iphones! Waiting patiently!

When can Sonos make this happen? This is a very desired feature. I don't have an iOS device and would love to be able to stream music to my Play:5 and Play:3 without turning on my desktop.

I was ready to drop some $ on this system until reading the fine print highlighted the fact that playing directly from my Android device is not supported. Any response as to future plans (particularly WHEN) for this capability? It's the difference between waiting patiently or looking for an entirely different solution.

I am awaiting Android support from Sonos before purchasing. However, I have seen third party app 'Twonky Beam' used to stream audio to Sonos (and video to Samsung TV). On Youtube, there is a video under Twonky Mobile (replaced by Twonky Beam). Within Google Play, the screenshots for Twonky Beam show Sonos as device. Some users prefer BubbleUPnp to Twonky to do similar thing - both are free on Google Play. Probably, worth giving a go before returning Sonos, but agree this is a huge let down from Sonos given size of Android market.

+1 on having Android devices play directly to Sonos as iOS devices can. Also it would be very helpful to get a timeframe from Sonos, or acknowledgement that you're working on this function. Thanks!

Sonos don't do timeframes (almost no company does in fact), but the idea is tagged at the top of this page as "Under Consideration" that's as close as you'll get to Sonos saying they're working on it. People need to understand that iOS gets these things first because Sonos only have to get it working on 3 different hardware platforms and ONE operating system (this only works on iOS 6 remember), for Android it's potentially hundreds of different platforms and several different versions of the Android OS (I have made an assumption that 2.3 and onwards will be supported, they may restrict it to 4.x only, I don't know). That's going to take far longer to implement and test (you do want them to test that it works, right?).

Me too! I want to be able to do this, I have invested in a Nexus 7 tablet and a Sonos Play:5 system. Works great for my wife to stream directly from iPhone but i really need to be able to do this from the Android OS.

Please get this sorted for Android in the next update of the Sonos app. Have used Skifta to achieve direct playing from the Android device, but does not enable queuing of songs. Must be so many people similarly frustrated that they cannot play direct from their Android device. Also - why is this not stated on any of the Sonos information in stores? I did wonder why my local PC world had an HTC phone connected to the Sonos, but never seemed to be working....
