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.

    Me an my wife were talking about expanding our sonos system with 3 Play 1.

    But my wife is using a windows phone so we decided to not bying them until Sonos releases an app for Windows Phone.

    I cant believe that a company totally ignore its customers.

    I see in this thread that a lot f people decided not to buy more Sonos product, god knows how many other user you lost due to this. How much money have you lost by not releasing an app?

    How many units must you sell to "not loose money on development cost" for the app, not that many i think.

    In that nobody can be bothered to reply to us all, the least you could do is make the results of the SurveyMonkey public so we can all see what responses you got?

    If you give us the results, we can at least all see whether or not there is any point continuing an interest in Sonos and go and buy something different.

    If anyone is interested to know, I contacted Denon about their new HEOS system. I asked them about a Windows Phone app they currently are only advertising for iOS and Android.

    They said that although there is clearly nothing available now, they are working on it and they expect there to be an app available next year.

    So come on SONOS, if you want any of these people on this thread to start/keep buying your wares, perhaps you pull your fingers out and make a Windows Phone app because the competition are coming with one.

    They've got a portable speaker in the works according to What Hi-Fi, something a lot of SONOS users have been asking for now for some time. Denon are also using Spotify Connect for managing the Spotify playback which is something people have been asking you for, for some time.

    Agreed. Already sold my two Play 3's to a friend after version 5 failed to make an appearance on WP8. My two Play 5's will be going that way shortly. Denon looks like a good bet to replace them. Cannot wait to go with a company that actually responds to consumer demand. Sick of looking at this tread, been the most requested feature for two years. What the hell is their problem? Same thing happened with Nest, waiting for a WP8 app before I buy and then all of a sudden a cool French company called Netatmo launch a smart thermostat with a WP8 app and thats it, I am now a Netatmo customer.
    It's called first-mover advantage Sonos, perhaps your corporate stratagy team should look it up...

    I was using the Sonos app on a iPad and my iPhone. A week ago I bought a Windows Surface to replace my iPad. It would be great to have an app that works on my new tablet.
