Truly wireless - Battery Powered PLAY unit

I'd like to see Sonos develop: 1. a truly wireless Play:4, with docking station for charging the unit. 2. an add-on battery-pack for Play:3 and Play:5.

      Guess Sonos is just going to sit on their hands.  This is a two year old thread.  How hard can it be to make a completely battery powered cordless unit?

      3 years old thread, Sonos hasn't even bothered to comment anymore. Obviously this isn't gonna happen, all they can think of is releasing old products in new colors. I'm kicking out my sonos stuff to replace it with more innovative brands.

      Any news to share sonos? For me and many others a portable Play would be the icing on the cake.

      For anyone in the UK that uses Spotify or Airplay I can recommend a Pioneer XW-SMA3K .
      These is a wireless speaker with battery, discontinued by Pioneer and can can now be picked up brand new from the Argos Outlet via ebay at £69.99 (originally £300 when launched).  Has wifi, airplay, Spotify Connect (after firmware upgrade), line-in, USB-in, direct wifi, 5 hour battery, splash-proof and pretty good sound for the price.  The app is pretty poor but not needed if using any of the above.

      Dear Sonos, the Beolit 12 (B&O) could be a base to work of? Great sound and build quality, the same as is expected of Sonos.
