Zune 120GB confirmed
Rumors have been hot this past week about Microsoft’s plans for a 120GB Zune player – and last week’s FCC filing of a 120GB player certainly provided hard evidence that such a device is in the works. (The pic above is from the FCC test repot and shows a 120GB Zune strapped to a table for emissions testing.)
Now it’s been formally confirmed by Microsoft. Pricing and other details are TBD, but Cesar Menendez of Microsoft’s Zune team has confirmed for us that the 120GB player is in the offing.
This additional capacity ought to make Zune more compelling as a video player as well as a music player. Assuming that the 120GB carries forward the Zune 80’s 3.2-inch screen, it takes advantage of a niche that is missing in the iPod line-up: a high-capacity player with a screen-size of over 3-inches.
