Support Windows 8 RT for Surface Tablet and Windows Phone 8 for Mobile Devices

As a news user to Sonos, I was disappointed that there was no Windows Phone 8 app. We do not use Android or Apple in our house, so using our Sonos is much more difficult than it should be.

Seriously. I NEED THIS

Yep seriously, this has gone on so long without communication, Windows Phone has only been out for over 3 years now...

Come on sonos, how hard can it be?

Any updates sonosteam?

Bluesound or Sonos ... that depends on who delivers an app first.

I have four Sonos components in my house and still have to use an old iPod touch to control them as both my Lumia 920 and my Surface RT are not getting adequate support. This is really poor and something I did not expect when I decided to go for Sonos as my main entertainment solution. Equally poor is their lack of feedback or update in this discussion. Windows Phone 8 and WinRT are around for quite some time now and I am sure it's not rocket science to create an app for these platforms. Most likely I would have picked another brand/solution if I knew this before and now I am are seriously considering putting my 3 Play5 and my Connect on ebay, too, as I use is less frequently since I have the Lumia.
This is a great heads up. Thankfully I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Difficult to justify a premium product if I'm assured a sub par experience at best. Oh well...I'm sure someone else would be willing to make an effort at earning my business....

Finally a good alternative, no more waiting for Sonos. http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-audio-receivers-dars/samsung-shape-m7/4505-6470_7-35828433.html
Actually I think the more crucial point is two or three years ago Samsung wasn't a threat to Apple.... How soon before Samsung is eating Sonos' lunch? I'm going to guess in relatively short order considering Samsung actually listens to their customers

Hi, I still cannot believe that this is taking so long. It's impossible to believe that you don't have sufficient demand from users on Windows 8 RT and Windows Phone 8 to justify what is a simple port of your existing app. At this point it's looking like I'll be ditching my Sonos for something supplied by a company who will value, listen to and support their customers.
Have you played with smartglass yet? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess no.

For those of you with the Surface RT, I have 3 words for you. Remote Desktop Connection... Turn that on, and you can control your Sonos from your Surface RT exactly the same way you would do it from your desktop or laptop Windows app. On top of that, you can run ANY app that you have on your PC from your surface. Not a native app, but should tide you over till Sonos decides to announce something.
Yes, Remote Desktop is a great stop gap solution...for you're using something briefly...but its still a compromised experience. Um....I thought Sonos was about a better than average experience? Is it unreasonable to expect a native app? If they're aiming for average, how do you capture a premium? I don't have to pay a premium if I'm happy with average.... whiskey, tango, foxtrot...over.
