The screen operates in either upright or landscape mode. I’ve tested about four iPhone apps that try to turn the phone into a remote control for audio and video components, and found them all to come up short, relegating important commands to secondary pages when they need to be up front and center.
Sonos already has an iPhone app, which has been the only way to control the lower-priced S5 model. The problem is that the iPhone’s screen is simply too small to easily accommodate all the commands you need in one place. And album art can be displayed full screen. But the iPad’s large screen is a perfect spot for a virtual remote control. Its iPad app, which will be free and available in late August, will work with all Sonos models, not just the S5.
Volume for each room can be set individually or simultaneously, also from the same page.

Isner & Mahut are now back on court. Remote control will get another bashing switching between tennis & football.
PLAN: Mac mini w/ HDMI out coupled w/ the free & polished Plex Media Center app and my Droid as a remote. Finally back in control of my TV.
Swooped by my own husband! Was watching House dvd, went to bathroom, came back to find he has full control of the remote and the couch.
