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.

    What is this "We're not at liberty to discuss...." crap. Look there are 900+ people who like the idea and figuring that they would or have purchased parts of the Sonos system and let's say that each one spent $500.00 on it. That's about $450,000.00 in sales... I think not making a windows phone and rt app is an huge oversight to say the least... Who else is with me?
    +$3,000 in and SONOS won't support Win 8? Man this really stinks!

    Oh for gods why is this taking so long? I went in to Best Buy last week and ever laptop on sale, is running windows 8. At our office they're migrating to Windows 8 and Surface Pro's. Does any working at Sonos give a damn about their customers?
    "Under consideration" Really? Why not be honest and say 'get lost' because that how it sounds.

    I am switching from iPhone 4 to Nokia Lumia 1020 (and I am a Sonos user) but where is the Sonos Controller for Windows Phone 8.x?! Please, publish it soon!

    Please Sonos, just a little hint at the future would be better then 'under consideration' and the future looks good. Is one being developed and a proposed timescale is all we are asking for. Should I start to look outside of Sonos for a controller or should I wait for an official app to be released?

    Dear John, dear Sonos. It would really be nice if you published the win phone version very shortly. My whole family has switched from android to win phones (and we still like them) and we are really not happy that we have to wait this long for the win phone app. We bought our phones a year ago ... Even if win phone is just 6 percent of the mobile market, just calculate how many customers are disappointed by the missing Sonos win phone app. You could persuade quite a big number of people to buy Sonos, but without app? Thanks for publishing the app soon.

    Moderator and/or others at Sonos....can we get an update? Surely this has moved from "consideration" to actual development or near release, right?

    Dear Sonos, I've just bought my first Sonos Play:5. I'm a Windows Phone /RT user. Really disappointed I can't get the software on my phone. Please, Please, Please release a Win8 Phone App and RT App

    Considering buying my first Sonos product, the Connect Amp, but I'm hesitating due to the lack of support for WinPhone8. Not keen on the idea running a third party app or being dependent on borrowing my wife’s iPad 😞 Starting a PC up for this is out of the question! Only WinPhones authorized on my job, and I really like my Lumia 920... Everything else about the Sonos systems feels and sounds just great!

    Still under consideration, we need to get some more people in here!

    I switched to WP8 from Android and i am disappointed with the available Apps for Sonos. I will rather sell my Sonos speakers before buying a Sonos controller / Android tablet for remote control
