The Sonos Android app for controlling multi-room audio from your Google blower has just gone live on the Android Market. It’s a free download for all Android 2.1 and up phones with a HVGA resolution or higher display (No plans yet for Honeycomb tablet support), and offers all of the functionality of the iPhone app, plus volume control with your phone’s volume rocker, and voice search.
We’ve just had the chance to test it out on a Google Nexus S and a Motorola Defy, and it does indeed work as advertised. Visually it’s identical to the experience on the iOS app and the CR200 remote, except tapping the option button gives you easier reach for the settings. There’s no widget, and it doesn’t appear as a running service in the notification menu, but if you have a Sonos system, and an Android phone, this one’s still a no brainer. Go get.
