You've been waiting and now it's here: Sonos has just announced the availability of the free Controller on the Android platform. It is compatible with almost all Android phones and tablets and supports the standard Sonos feature set (music assignment, browsing, search) as well as a few interesting additions. The app takes advantage of Android's native speech recognition to offer voice search ("Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute") and it also highjacks your Android device's volume keys to control the volume of the Sonos device. The Sonos system now also supports Airplay but in a very roundabout way. If you have an Airport Express with Airplay support (or Apple TV, for that matter), you can transmit audio from an iPad, iPod, or iPhone to that device using Airplay. You can then take the live stream from the Airplay device and send it to any Sonos device on your network. It's obviously not ideal, but it works. You can still transmit audio from multiple devices (including iTunes libraries) around your network.
