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.

    Dear Santa,

    Please place the Sonos developers on the naughty list, if the WP app isn't available soon.
    Most things are and should be forgivable, this isn't one of them.

    I am on hold from buying anymore Sonos products until you get a Windows 8/Phone app. WHAT is the hold up? If Facebook, a FREE service, can get a good windows app out, why can't you???

    I will not purchase anymore Sonos products until you provide a Windows 8/Phone app. Even Facebook, a free service, has provided a good Windows app. Why can't you????

    agreed especially considering you've already had 16 months to create such an app

    5 months seems like a long time since an official update.

    Sonos Team: Let me add my support for this request. You have a wonderful product line, but you're leaving leaving a rapidly-growing market segment out in the cold. The old dedicated controller hardware is no longer available. And we don't want to lug out our full Win7 and Win8 laptops, or fire up our workstations, just to play some tunes on your great system. What we want is just the same convenience iOS and Android users have, namely, the ability to use our mobile devices of choice to control our Sonos networks. I understand your reluctance to service what is still a third place OS in the mobile space. But please check out the latest tech news: Surface2 is sold out everywhere this holiday season; Walmart and Best Buy can't keep them on the shelves. And Nokia (soon to be MS) Lumia phones are starting to lap the iPhone in market share in several European and South American countries, and their market share is growing fast even in the U.S. In short, this is not a lagging market any longer. On the contrary: these are early adopters--people willing to buck the default consumer choices (think: traditional land line stereo systems) and try new things. Many of them could become fanatical advocates for your system, if you'd just be willing to invite them in from the cold. Do it! Do it now!

    Please tell us that that you have a Christmas present for all of us who are waiting for a Windows 8 RT/Phone 8 app. This has been under consideration for longer than it takes my wife to decide which shoes to wear for a party.

    I have just purchased a Nokia Lumia 1020 phone and love it apart from the lack of a dedicated Sonos App. I have been checking this page for Months. Still no update from you guys. Poor show. I wanted a change from iOS and Android but the only thing putting me off was the lack of Sonos support but I decided to bite the bullet and go WP8 anyway in the hope that Sonos will eventually do the right thing and bring out an app for the ever-growing Windows Phone adoptees! Make it Happen. Please Pretty Please!
