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.

When I read the comments I'm very disappointed. As a so long time customers are still waiting for a SONOS app which is useable for "windows 8 tabs". Let us discuss the actual situation from a special point of view. Maybe the problem is the cooperation between SONOS and Apple?? Ok - if it is, than tell us this from SONOS side. I bougth a lot of the products of SONOS, but I will decide also in the future by my self which software (Apple or Windows) I us! Maybe a have decide wrong as i bougth SONOS??

I'm desperately waiting for this Sonos-app. I like my sonos-system very much, but I can only use it when my husband or children are at home !! Because I'm using a Windows 8 tablet (and they have Ipad and Android phone). PLEASE....

I highly doubt the problem is "cooperation between SONOS and Apple." Sonos produces an Android controller, and Android is much more of a thret to Apple than MS, Also, there are several Apple features (Airplay, direct connect to Sonosnet) that Apple users are clamoring for almost as much as Windoes 8 users. No conspiracy here.

Count me in 🙂 please sonos, make it happen already. a lot of your customers are waiting for a wp8 app. I bet there is a lot of people out there who consider the absence of a windows app a showstopper! best

Never thought it would happen, but I fell head over heals in love with the new Lumia 1020. So I've been messing around with some of the integrated music features MS offers and they're not half bad. I'm not leaving SONOS as it's still head & shoulders above the MS offering, but if you force your customers to try other products, there's a chance they'll leave you. I'd rec'd SONOS get an app out fast or watch another streaming company do it.

The Samsung system has an app for iOS and Android only. So please explain how it is a "good alternative" to Sonos not having a Windows 8 app?

Just sold my iPad on ebay and will be getting a Surface 2, I hope the Sonos for Windows RT will be available this year.
