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.

      Love Sonos and my Play 5 - about to get the Play 1. I also love my Windows Phone and Windows Tablet and would love, love, love to have a Sonos app on these devices to control my music. Thanks for accepting user feedback!

      Been thinking of getting the Play 1 but without Windows Phone and/or Surface support it is just a non starter, Christmas is coming up too so can't see me upgrading any time soon which is a pity as I really like the Sonos system. It looks like there is no point waiting for an update from Support as its already 3 months since we had any word from them.......

      Thought I would chime in on this as well. Windows 8 as a tablet platform is certainly gaining traction, and I am considering a Surface 2. Even if that wasn't RT, a lot of these touch-based Windows 8 hybrids or tablets would really benefit from having a Sonos app specifically made for touch. I have other devices as well to control Sonos, but I sincerely hope this is coming and is being worked on. Hopefully by the end of year or early next year.

      Just bought Surface 2. I have had the Surface RT since day one. Sonos, you should have a good look at the Rhapsody app that runs on Surface RT, it is fantastic: it even "Plays-to" Sonos hardware just fine. I would suggest SONOS talk to their friends over at Rhapsody to see how they made such a great app. I would love to continue my commitment to SONOS but we really, really need a WIN 8 Metro app!!! PS Just got news from SONOS they will be dropping support for my CR100 controller, great, so give a WIN 8 app!!!

      Come on Sonos, please comment on whether you are working on these apps, and if so, when we should expect them! I've just taken the plunge on a Connect:amp and a Play:1 and I don't want to be forced to go & buy some crappy Android tablet just so I can control them!

      As I continue to add to my Sonos collection (4 x Play:1), the need for a Windows Phone 8 controller app is essential. I have no desire to purchase ios or android equipment and having to fire up my Surface Pro every time I want to change settings etc is frustrating. Nice to know a WP8 app is under consideration but please hurry up.

      Sonos, its time to communicate with your customers! What is current status on the Windows 8, RT and WP8 app?

      It's quite amazing after all this time and so many requests that Sonos still can't provide an answer to their plans for Windows RT/WP and XBox Music. I got a Connect for free, but I'm not going to buy a Sonos product before this is in place, and I'm not advising anyone else to do so either. Even a Beta would be ok. I know for a fact that programming for WP8 Win RT isn't all that difficult...
