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.

    Please give us windows phone users an official Sonos app (Even a beta), not everyone in the world uses iPhone or Android, WP8 is growing fast and we need an official app from a highly sophisticated system like Sonos, Help stamp out the domination of the iPhone

    We've had Sonos for a good few years now and have expanded our selection recently with the Play:1, however I really hope we do get both a WP8 and Windows 8/8RT official 'Modern' app in the near future, it would be the icing on the cake!

    I am about to get a new phone - really need a sense of whether there's going to be a controller app for use on Windows phones to help me decide which way to go.

    I'm not sure i understand the statement "We’re listening to your suggestions and will be looking for some more detailed feedback on how you use Windows Phone in your home soon."?
    I think everyone's point is they do NOT use it to control their Sonos system (at least not with an official App), and would like to be able to as soon as possible.  

    That will only happen with Sonos investment.

    After over 1 year of nothing useful to report from Sonos with regards to a Windows phone app, the Sonos brand has gone down in my estimations.  8 months ago you could have stated this would not be available any time soon and allowed those that wished too to move on, rather than teasing that you were heading in a good direction.  It appear your latest statement confirms nothing has changed in the past 8 months.

    Amazon Mobile, Amazon Kindle, eBay, Pandora, PayPal, Adobe Reader, Fly Delta, GoToMeeting, American Airlines, United Airlines, Bank of America, Direct TV, Twitter, Domino's Pizza, Vivint/Alarm.com. These are some the fully functioning apps that I currently use on my Windows Phone that are not third party published. Hopefully Sonos will publish its Windows Phone controller soon. I must say, with complete and all due respect, it is difficult to think that the Windows Phone App is only "Under Consideration", especially for a company that in my opinion has produced a flawless, wireless sound system with the greatest sound quality and play options available.   I thoroughly enjoy my system every day, so thanks.

    I use Windows Phone like most people use a smart phone. Surfing the web, ordering food, checking weather, banking, sports, listening to music, controlling my home, etc. Maybe I'm not understanding the question Ryan.

    Come on Sonos!

    I run everything on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. I don't want to buy an iPad or Android tablet. You have had plenty of time to "take it under consideration", now give us more information on the likelyhood of apps for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone. When can we expect a more detailed response from you.

    Please don't ask how we use our Windows Phone in the household. It is irrelevant and takes even more time. We just want the controller on our favorite platform, Windows 8,1 and Windows Phone

    Thank you!
