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.

      Smaller than Play : 1 please. A Play 1 would not fit on my bathroom shelf. Thank you

      I thought "totally wireless" included "cordless". I intended to use these with AirPlay in various locations as needed. Neither is possible. Sure, they sound good, but if they're tethered to a power outlet, I'm not sure what the excitement is all about. Deciding about returning and repurchasing when they become rechargeable.

      This point, the lack of a cordless, rechargeable speaker in the Sonos lineup, one that you can truly take anywhere within your mesh without having to find a power outlet, for instance the garden or bathroom, remains the biggest weakness that Sonos' competitors continue to be able to exploit.

      I'm heavily invested in Sonos but I may still sell the lot in favour of replacing it with the Bose system

      I'd just like to add a Me2 to this thread.  I was winning hands down the argument on who had the better wireless audio system with a colleague (who has the Pure set up) until he played the battery powered speakers card.  This is a great nice to have.

      I would love to get a rechargeable Sonos speaker for each of the kids rooms (who frequently hi-jack speakers in other rooms) that would be easily relocated to be satellites for the Playbar - where presently I have to go under a desk to unplug other units to get surround sound in the living room.  Being able to take to a speaker to the back garden in the summer would be a definite bonus too.

      I would certainly buy at least a couple of rechargeable battery powered Sonos speakers with docking stations for re-charging. Be a great addition to my Sonos set up.

      Clarification on why this is popular when other ideas clearly more popular are already tossed out as not planned?
      I'd like to battery powered speakers across the range.
