You expect a comment about a "closed" beta test? Really? Seriously?

You my friend could really do with getting a life!
Why do you cruise threads that obviously don't concern you, on a website who's owners aren't paying you?
It is not unreasonable to ask for comment on developments of the most requested feature on this website. Plenty of companies would be happy to respond to requests for information. Sonos is the exception, not the rule, in this regard as someone clearly thinks it adds a certain cachet. What they fail to realise is that unlike other companies in the technology sector, who we know will be releasing new products and features regularly, Sonos just frustrates everyone with an unnecessary wall of silence and release new products/features with the speed of an asthmatic tortoise!

There is a reason they have "private" and "public" betas.  It's not too far a stretch to question why one would expect a comment on something which is "private" as opposed to something which is "public".  Never mind industry specific terms, the very definition of the word "private" should answer that question for anyone who is not a thick headed fool.

And as soon as "other companies in the technology sector, who we know will be releasing new products and features regularly" release a multi-room streaming device with a Windows mobile app, let me know.  Because it will be the very first one.

Well, they sort of got caught with their pants down; there is no denying they are working on a WP app, the proof is out there.

They could have just answered: "we are indeed testing an app for windows phone, no further details will be revealed at this stage"

That shows a lot more respect to their customers.

Anyone with any knowledge about Sonos' beta testing knows that they never, ever, ever discuss beta testing until it is made public, regardless of any leaks which may happen.  The logic of asking them to break this policy in this particular case is certainly up for questioning.

@Tom. Thanks for your support.

A closed beta means that only a selected group of people can use the software for beta testing. But that doesn’t mean SONOS can’t communicate about it. Most company’s would be happy to tell their costumers that they started a closed beta. Especially if these customers are waiting 2 years for this. So I still think John should comment about it. Just tell us that it is a closed beta and that it is conducted by SONOS inc. Why keep silent ?

They should break this policy because people on this thread have been waiting for years, watching less popular ideas get implemented.
I recall Soundcloud support was marked as "planned" for a long time. Why did Sonos "comment on future features" with that one?
Your comment about other multi-room streaming devices is also pure obscuration as that was not my point. My point was that companies can pull of this kind of secrecy when everybody knows there will be new products released. Apple can get away with it because everyone knows that they release new features/products every year, usually even around the same time of year. This is true for most big tech companies and is a well known hype generator. Sonos is clearly not looking to generate hype with this method because their releases are erratic and infrequent. So my point remains, it is a frustration generator.
As you may be able to tell I am clearly frustrated.
Apologies for the personal attack, I was frustrated, you get the idea!
PS Denon have announced that WP support is a future goal.

The reason Soundcloud was commented on is because Sonos declared it public.  Everything that comes out is eventually declared public, and subsequently marked as "Planned"; as will the Windows app, if it is put into public beta.  Until that time, Sonos is not going to comment on it.  Period. So you can complain about it, or you can accept the situation and/or glean what you will from the unauthorized leaks.

And Sonos' releases are not erratic, nor infrequent.  They average 3-4 a year, and have stuck to that average for the last 6 years. 

As far as the personal attack goes, I'm used to it.  Personal attacks are often the last bastion of defense for a losing argument, so I see it as a compliment.

You may often be correct, however my personal attack was also my opening gambit, I would hope I'd not been forced to my last bastion before I'd even begun! Anyway the apology was genuine, accept it or not.
I accept Sonos have every right conceivable to stick to their policy of silence, my main argument is that it is extremely counter-productive for them as a company for it gains them nothing but loses them plenty of good-will. I am aware that I can't force them to do anything, I shall continue to complain in the absence of any other course of action however.
I was not referring to updates to the existing apps either. Maintenance is not a new release/feature in my book. Version 5.0 was the last major release of anything if you think about it, 5.1-5.3 have largely been about perfecting the new UI, moving things around rather then adding anything.
So in reality Sonos releases have been erratic from the Playbar in early 2013 was it? Then the Play:1 in late 2013, followed by v5 in mid 2014 followed by nothing. I'm struggling to see any frequency there.
