FCC gives OK to 120GB Zune

The FCC's Web site let us all in on a little Microsoft secret Monday: the company is working on a 120GB Zune.

A report detailing a test performed by the government agency in mid-June shows a picture of the portable media player, which looks identical to the 80GB version of the device. It doesn't appear that there are any other spec changes besides the larger hard drive capacity.

At 120GB, that puts Microsoft neatly between Apple's largest-capacity iPod offerings. Apple has an 80GB and a 160GB iPod Classic, and doesn't participate in the 120GB category.

And although the report has plenty to say about radiation test results, it offers nothing about any prospective release date or price.

Come on MS, i wanted a touch screen. I mean you would be making a pretty amazing player if it had 120gb HDD and a touch screen. Well, no matter, it still is a ton of space, the Zune UI is pretty cool.

That one's a lot more shinier than the 80 gig black. The 80 isn't glossy, so tihs is slightly different looking...
