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 just spent several thousand dollars on new Sonos gear and like the system a lot. But: please make controller apps for Windows Phone and Windows 8/RT tablets. Future purchases, and my recommendations to others, are contingent on this support. Thank you for your consideration.

      Dear Sonos The three primary operating systems all need access to Sonos apps! What is the delay? Why aren't you communicating with estimates or at least that Sonos will create an app for Windows 8? This would keep a number of us from looking for other systems for our homes. Ed

      Sonos provides a great product that works very reliably. However, it is important to keep up with changes in technology as well. The Windows 8 phone is great and has a rapidly growing market. The lack of a Windows 8 phone app creates a negative impression of the Sonos system. This seems totally incompatible and Sonos should update the application offerings to include the Windows 8 phone app!

      Do we have a time frame when the determination will be made to move this from Under Consideration to Under Development?

      Any update on this? Last official response I saw was 5 months ago. Still under consideration?

      I've started my Sonos experience very recently and love it, with intention of adding everything Sonos have in the fullness of time. I'm also about to embark on Windows Surface RT and Nokia Lumia Windows 8 smartphone, and want to add my desire and request to Sonos for Windows 8 for phone and Windows RT for Surface. I agree with the contribution by DrFlick; please develop it Sonos, but do it well and maintain the quality.

      Does it still under consideration, I'm just waiting for Windows Rt and Windows phone support to make the purchase, or should I consider a different option?

      I too would like my Windows phone to work with my Sonos system. I'm hesitant to buy any more Sonos gear without knowing that they will support use through a Windows phone because I really don't like having to lug my laptop from room to room to control my speakers rather than having an app on my phone.
