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 this work while they are still developing the app. Using the Sonos as a Play To DNLA destination:

    I am a huge SONOS supporter and have influenced 5 friends to purchase your technology, always with the caveat that support for Windows is less than desirable and my primary concern and source of dissatisfaction. Support for Windows Phone and RT are definitely something that would complete your current offering. Very willing to participate in Beta releases of solutions for those devices and provide feedback.

    Schade, dass es noch kein App für Windows Phone 8 gibt. Ich hoffe doch, dass die Entwickler dieses App zur Verfügung stellen können - oder verbietet  Microsoft die Veröffentlichung?

    I'd love to be part of the beta test program for the Windows 8 RT controller!

    Does the fact that this request is still Under Consideration and not in a Planned status mean that no progress has been made in developing a Windows App range?

    I'm waiting on an App decision from Sonos to expand my investment with the purchase of a Sub, PlayBar and a few more Play:1's to displace my Yamaha RXA1010.

    Can Sonos at least respond with status or is the plan to just ignore community requests from customers who are obviously interested in your products?

    Come om there must be something you can convey to your customers. On your web Site you state that you support any Smartphone, tablet or computers. For my part I will not invest in any more products (playbar, 3 ones) until an app is available.
