Default Help me find a name for a small Sonos for WP7 app

Hi

Since I am currently on vacation, I finally have the time to do some WP7 development.
For the first stages I plan for a small ap which can only perform the most basic tasks. The general outline is as follows:
Stage 1:
* Turn on/off specific ZonePlayers
* Turn off all players
Stage 2:
* Change volume
* Show how the players are currently linked
* Change link status
Stage 3:
* We'll see


Now: I would need some help finding a suitable name for this app. It should not be too affiliated with Sonos (since I am in no way affiliated with Sonos except for the fact that I buy their products) but you should be able to find it. I've been thinking about Sontrol - but that sounds ... well .. no.

Yes, I know there is Phonos available, but it lacks a few of the features I want to have - also the price of 8 EUR seems unreasonable to me. This application will definitely have less features than Phonos, but will then probably be available for free.

How about "Metronos", to reflect the new Metro GUI on WP and W8.

Hey, thanks for your input ... I very much liked the Metro approach, so it will be named "Metros" - at least the first versions

I have uploaded it to the marketplace and it should be available as soon as it has been certified.

If you run into any problems getting it certified due to testing limitations (no hardware, etc.) drop me a PM -- I've done some of the testing of other Sonos apps and willing to help however I can... (I work for MSFT).

Hi

Thanks for your offer. I'm still waiting for the app to be certified (or not certified, but I want the report for which reasons ).
In case there are problems regarding non-existent hardware, I'll get back to you. Thanks, again.

Hi

I'm still waiting for it to be certified This seems to take ages; no wonder there are so few apps available.

Alright, I've now tried it two times .. in both cases I got the same message:
"The application cannot be tested for compliance for Windows Phone 7 Application Certification Requirements
due to geographic, hardware, and/or software limitation(s). The application's main functionality cannot be tested"

Therefore I'll give up on this and just use it myself. This is really annoying and it was probably the last app for WP7 that I've been writing.
