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.

Windows Phone now has parity on most of the top download apps found on iOS and Android with an “85% overlap” in top-25 titles and still nothing from Sonos. The money this company charge for its products leads me to believe that Sonos either has a disagreement with Microsoft or the management are all Apple fan boys with no desire to make the operating system any more potentially damaging to Apple. The continued absence of a WP controller obviously has nothing to do with finances. A recent email reply from Sonos reminded me that 'the company does not comment on products in development. So, a year into Windows Phone 8 and still this company has nothing to say and Im still having to use a laptop for Sonos. The time has come to consider selling my sonos system and buy something else.

Please provide us with more information on release dates, etc. I feel that I could program this myself in a jiffy, provided that Sonos would give me access to the right APIs. Why does it take so long guys?

Im satisfied with my new Sonos system, but i was allso told that the WP8 app was to be released before christmas. It seems i wont be, and that puts me in the same awkward situatuion as the majority of users in this thread. I have a great working sound system, but im missing the remote i allways have on me. Please fix it Sonos, or at least release a date, strategy or explanation to you users.

Hey, I really want to buy a Sonos system for Christmas present to the my family. But without an Windows Phone / Windows app I will not buy it. Unfortunately. Please make an WP/Win app for your system.

What's the latest on this, Sonos? 5 months ago there was the hint of something exciting and we haven't heard anything since. About 1 in 20 smartphones sold run Win8 and it's the platform with the highest growth rate by far. And whether or not there is going to be an app dictates whether or not I buy a new Sonos for Christmas...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm surprised to see that Sonos has not replied to this issue over the last 5 months (!?). Just for your information: I think Sonos is missing a significant growing community here. The market share for WP8, RT and WP8 tablets passed the 10% mark (volume sold) in UK and France the last couple of months... The popularity of the new Nokia phones/tablets and the uptake of these products with the US carriers looks very promising for the US too... If you are in the process of developing the WP8 app and you need beta-testers, then please drop me a line. I'd be happy to help out (I'm sure the 1,315 people on this tread would help out too :-))
