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've ditched my iPad in favour of a MS Surface, which I consider to be so much better. The only thing it's missing is a Sonos app 😞 Oh, and scummvm 🙂

    I too vote for a Windows app. The Modern UI interface is absolutely wonderful when it comes to consuming media! Also, if all buisiness logic is placed within a Portable Class Library 95% of the code can be shared between a Windows app and a Windows Phone (both 7.5 and 😎 app. This means that you can make a Windows app and pretty much get a Windows Phone app for free. Been there and done that so I know by my own experience that it really does work!

    Can't invest any more in a product (Sonos) that is so slow when it comes to supporting the "new" Windows platforms - it is a big worry. The second worry is the lack of communication with the users - It is very poor managed.

    Please add a app for Win RT and Win8 phone. That's the one thing preventing me from recommending the awesome Sonos to my friends and relatives.

    I just setup a 23" touch screen in between my living room and kitchen and would absolutely love a Windows 8 Sonos app. Windows Phone 8 as well. I just started purchasing Sonos components and the software availability and long term support were my primary reasons for choosing Sonos.

    Suggestions from a happy Sonos (10 zone owner) who highly recommends Sonos all the time: - a Windows Phone-based controller app - a Windows RT Modern UI-based controller app - native Xbox Music service integration support including streaming - not just the ability to play downloaded DRM-free music - Pandora "genre search" and station creation (not just artist and track, but proper genre based search capability and station creation) Thanks, Steve

    Also a happy Sonos owner with a zone in every area of the house. -Looking to update several rooms with new large screen (20"+) all-in-one PCs running Windows 8. Would LOVE a Metro based control interface for Sonos to run in each room. -Likewise same interface to be used on Surface/RT devices -XBOX would be nice to have with something relevant to what is playing (album art, etc) + kinnect Sonos controller capabilities -Same with Windows Phone for pocket controller we are attempting to rid ourselves of iOS equipment as it is dated and frankly provides us no value other than a Sonos controller. Are very interested to see how Sonos can embrace the new world of touch and large screen computing in every room of the house!

    Please create a WinRT and a Windows Phone 8 App. It would make Sonos so much better!
