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.

    Any news? Any update? Anything? Dear Sonos; have you recently noticed that the WP platform is rapidly picking up marketshares in major countries in Europe and in the US? Have you considered the correlation between Sonos and WP owners? Please consider giving an update on where you're going on this

    ... after a break-in to my car, i lost my ipad and touch. simply we have a iphone 5 and second touch in our household (and imac). so i'm forced to look for a new tablet and i felt in love with surface rt. in addition i bought an tougher windows 8 fone and sold iPhone 5. windows 8 fone is much cheaper and easier to handle than locked IOS. if there is no support by sonos - i'll change to other room systems - there are anough newer ones, in adition with "NFC bluetooth" windows 8, rt and phone starts a good run on market and companies, which are not accompany will lose business volume

    All, It's been a little while since our last update and we know that many of you are keen to learn more about the direction of this request. In short, the direction we're headed in is a good one, but we're not yet ready to share any details at this time. Until we have more to share, we're going to keep this topic marked as Under Consideration. Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your comments with us.

    Since the dedicated controller is no longer available... Please create the Windows 8 APP. iPhone is fine but Windows still exists!

    I have surface pro - It runs windows version of Sonos fine. However would be great to see fully touch optimised metro design implemented.

    It sounds like this is getting close but the fact that it is still only "under consideration" is extremely disappointing. NEWS FLASH!! Microsoft is paying companies $100,000 per app to deliver first party applications to Windows 8 modern UI and Windows Phone 8 devices! I have been waiting for over 8 months for Windows Phone 8 support...hopefully this is getting close. I want to expand my system but cannot justify the cost when the usability is severely hampered by a crippled third party application on my Windows Phone 8 and Windows RT devices!!

    Hey all, Microsoft launched a new app on Windows Phone called "Where's My App" that allows you to formally request apps. http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/where-my-app/1913db3b-2ff8-4d11-a979-7395f7419f23 I highly suggest we all download that app and request a first party Sonos application in addition to the requests we are demanding here. Hopefully we can finally convince Sonos to support the dedicated windows user group that loves and needs Sonos. Add this to the up to $100,000 Microsoft is offering companies to bring their apps to platform and how can Sonos ignore us?!
