`SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonos(R), Inc., the leading developer of wireless multi-room
`music systems for the home, today introduced the Sonos Controller for iPhone(TM) as a free download on the
`iPhone App Store. Music lovers with an iPhone 3G, iPhone or iPod(R) touch can now control the award-winning
`Sonos Multi-Room Music System all from their favorite portable device. A video demonstration of the free Sonos
`Controller for iPhone is available at http://www.sonos.com/iphone .
`
`Sonos wirelessly plays all the music you want, all over your house, providing an unparalleled multi-room music
`experience. With Sonos ZonePlayers(TM) connected wirelessly in the rooms of your choice and a Sonos Controller
`for iPhone in hand, you can find and play the music you want with ease. Simply pick a room, pick a song and hit
`play. Play the same song in every room in perfect synchronization, or play different songs in every room.
`
`By combining Sonos' industry-leading multi-room control user interface with the iPhone's large display and touch-
`screen technology, the Sonos Controller for iPhone lets you control the entire Sonos system and a world of music at
`the touch of a finger. The Sonos user experience allows you to quickly link and unlink rooms, without interrupting
`music playback. Select, Play, Pause, and Skip music in any room. Search for your favorite artists and songs by
`typing on the touch screen. Browse your collection by pointing and flicking. Change the volume in a single room, or
`in all your rooms at once, all from the Sonos Controller for iPhone.
`
`The Sonos Controller for iPhone is the only iPhone Controller app that provides multi-room music control for the
`entire house and direct access to an infinite world of music including Last.fm, Napster(R), Pandora(R),
`Rhapsody(R), SIRIUS(R) Internet Radio, 15,000 plus radio stations, shows and more. Plus, the Sonos Controller for
`iPhone gives music lovers control over their entire music collection* located on any computer on their home
`network, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive and even an Apple(R) Time Capsule. And, Sonos is the only
`multi-room music system that doesn't require you to have your computer on or a piece of server software on the
`network to play music all over the home -- just walk into your house, reach into your pocket, grab your iPhone, and
`turn on the music.
`
`"The Sonos Controller for iPhone is another example of Sonos offering features and applications that make the
`system better, at no cost to our current or future customers," said John MacFarlane, CEO, Sonos, Inc. "Today's
`announcement enables all of our customers to use a great personal product from Apple to control the world's best
`multi-room music system."
`
`Sonos was the first multi-room music system to deliver wireless handheld control and today offers more ways to
`control music throughout the home than any other multi-room product on the market -- the handheld Sonos
`Controller CR100, Sonos Desktop Controller for PC and Mac and now the Sonos Controller for iPhone. You can
`mix and match Controllers for the ultimate in convenience and control.
