Microsoft's 4GB / 8GB flash-based Zunes revealed by FCC

Well, would you look at this. Thanks to the oh-so-disclosing FCC website, we're now seeing drawings of what looks to be 4GB and 8GB versions of Microsoft's forthcoming flash-based Zunes. Sure enough, the pictures match the leaked photos from yesterday to a T, so it shouldn't be long before these things get officially official. Additionally, the documentation includes what appears to be a matching Zune FM transmitter module and dock, which is pictured after the jump for your enjoyment. Hold tight kids, the new Zunes are nearly here.

UPDATE: Looks like these bad boys should also have built-in WiFi (likely 802.11b/g enabled) courtesy of a Marvel 88W8686 chipset.

Looks just as ugly as the original. Next.

Well, on the plus-side, at least it's not an iPod.

So f'n ugly again. Why do they need to put that ugly "frame" around the display again? They are so clueless. Consumers want as much of the front covered by a display as possible. Not a tiny display and a cheap looking plastic "frame" around it. I can't understand how a company with as much money to throw around can't afford anything better than a couple of design school dropouts to design their player - TWICE!

The back of the Zune is the same as the back of an iPod; regarding icon locations. Have Redmond got their photocopiers up and running again?
