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.

      would it be so hard to just compile an ARM version of the Windows controller as a stopgap for Surface users? That would at least give some headroom for a Modern app to get built and published to the Windows Store.
      Please Windows RT - definitely needs a Sonos App

      The Windows Phone app probably needs to come first... this is a close second.

      I love my Surface RT. I have Windows 8 Desktops and I'm considering Sonos. This would make my decision easy.

      PLEASE bring a Windows 8/RT and Windows Phone 8 app out soon! I just recently left Android with the release of Windows 8, Surface RT, and Windows Phone 8. I am absolutely in love with the devices and the new Windows platforms, but I'm now in desperate need of a Sonos app to control my system! Thanks!!

      I'm just about to purchase a Sonos system for every room in the house and am also going to buy a Microsoft Surface Tablet running Windows RT. I emailed Sonos to find out whether they have an app to run Sonos from the Surface and couldn't believe it when told that they don't. I'm therefore definitely going to put the Sonos system on hold until they bring an app out.

      Sonos should be on Windows 8 RT, it should be on the Surface because Sonos is for people who choose beauty and functionality over the fadish as are these new Windows 8 tablets. And a Windows Phone 8 app would be great too, my Iphone is going in the trash as soon as my HTC 8X arrives.

      could anybody from sonos tell us when we can expect the windows phone 8 app ? I hope this is only a question when.

      We run a Windows household, so Windows phone and Surface apps are much anticipated. Have been waiting for a Windows phone app for a long time now and have had to resort to a third party app which isn't what we would expect from a Company like Sonos.

      Definitely needed... We have 2 Sonos setups (home and work) using PC and iOS controllers at the moment... Switching to Win Phone 8, Win 8 and Surface, so would be great to have Win RT and Win Phone 8 controllers with all the functionality of the iPhone / iPad apps!
