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.

This is pretty annoying... I hope sonos will fix this soon. I controlled sonos with my android tablet. Android 4.1.2, where the sonos app cannot be controlled from the loginscreen. So i constantly need to provide my credentials. Android 4.2 seems to be able to do so for the sonoswidget. But the tunein internetradio can be controlled from the loginscreen in this android version. To me this sounds a bit lazy, to not give back support. So I bought a windows phone and had to find out that people are waiting for control abilities for years already! I think sonos can better hire more people to get the software right instead of designing new products like the play one. Also, think of some better discount actions other than a free bridge. Some people may have five of them! I better like immediate discount on another play3 if above issues are resolved... I expected more for my money. Way more...

I wish I knew that i could not control SONOS with my Windows SURFACE with Windows RT on it. I bought it with controlling the SONOS in mind.
Now I will not be purchasing one unless the support is give to this platform.

Bummer!

Gone Windows 8 Phone for everyone in the house, really disappointed with Sonos for not providing an app, when thinking about next audio solution purchase will have to think about Sonos not being progressive or flexible :-(

Yeah we just got the Sonos system and I'm about to get a new Windows phone. If this isn't resolved soon, I'm sending the Sonos back before the 90 day

6 months since the last update. Any news on when SONOS will have an app available to use on a WIndows phone?

Absolutely disgusted with the customer service from sonos.... Completely baffled as to why this issue was not resolved years ago!.... just bought 3 sonos products this xmas and since found out my nokia lumia doesn;t have the required controller app available. having found that this was an issue i've had a quick google and found out people have been begging for this since 2011 and the last official response was 6 months ago with still no end in sight! laughable customer service , needless to say All 3 products are going back in the box for a full refund. shocking....

sonos - come on - this is 'under consideration'. just do the market research - growing market share with a demo of higher income users who are more likely to use sonos products. build this app before my money goes completely to waste.

Sonos could buy the code for the phonos app, fix it and deploy it as native sonos... Minimal effort required I'd guess.
