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.

      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!

      Windows phone 7: No Sonos app Windows Phone 8: No Sonos app Windows RT (Surface): No Sonos app Been waiting a long time now. I LOVE my Sonos, but I feel like I am being left behind when I have to take my phone AND my Sonos controller outside to enjoy some music with my friends (who can not only control their Sonos with their iphones, but can control mine as well). Is it time yet? Say yes. Thank you.

      I'm also really hopeful that Sonos will make apps for Windows 8 and for Windows Phone 8. It was understandable that Sonos took a wait-and-see approach to Windows Phone 7, but Windows 8 should have a much more attractive market share. Fingers crossed! 🙂

      Add me to the list of wanting apps for Windows Phone and Windows 8 I sell Sonos quite frequently to clients. But when they have a Windows Phone, I either have to turn them away from the product or convince them to buy a different phone. Both are not ideal solutions. I'm also seeing more and more clients with new Windows 8 machines in their home which they would like to use as a controller. Again, it's not a fun conversation to tell them that their bright shinny new Surface can't function as a Sonos controller. And you can chalk me up as one of these clients. I own a Windows Phone and a Surface RT. The only reason I don't own a Sonos system myself yet is because I don't have a compatible device.

      Would love to have an app that would let me control my Sonos systems from either my Windows 8 Phone and / or my Windows 8 RT surface.... I keep an old IPOD touch witn the SONOS software on it to control it....

      I broke down and bought a kindle fire to be able to use my Sonos system without my laptop. Would love to be able to use my windows phone....and to justify buying a Surface sooner rather than later
