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.

      How can we get an update 3 months ago saying, "i know its been a long time" then nothing for ages again. Come on sonos its cant be that hard to update your fans can it?

      Come on Sonos - Windows Phone has almost 10% market share - we need you to develop a WP8 app, we want to be able to switch to WP8 devices, without loosing the abillity to control our preferable music system...! How hard can it be?

      I've been waiting more than a year now to extend my Sonos system. It would be a great system if we could use it from our phones and tablets but we cannot. The new Play:1 seems promising but without a controller it is useless to me. Sonos really has a poor user experience for me right now.

      I am happy Sonos is headed in a "good" direction regarding the Sonos controller for Windows Phone according to John M. Keep on going and quickly please. Sonos is the best.

      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.
      What does that have to do with a multi-room perfectly synced audio system?

      Sonos is indeed the best of quality but the lack of integration with Microsoft hard & software (windows phone, xbox, ...) is stunning. How many request do we need to launch? haven't been playing my sonos since my xbox music account 😞

      Sold my Sonos system due to lacking Windows RT and WP support. Have been waiting long enough for it. I might come back using Sonos, when Windows platform is properly supported.

      Okay Sonos Team, not sure what your delay is. I just saw the new Play 1 speaker and have a great place for it, but honestly, not sure I want to spend money on something that won't work with Windows 8 devices. I now have the Nokia 1020 that operates on Windows 8 (soon 8.1) and would love to be able to control my music system via this device. Why the hold up on supporting Windows devices? I'm totally stumped by the non support. Looks like the last official update might have been 3 months ago, anything further yet?
