120GB Zune slips past the FCC

Craving some more room for that season of Avatar you've been trying to cram onto your Zune without dropping your Mega Carrie Underwood Workout Mix? It looks like Microsoft is one-upping its 80GB model with a 120GB version, which just blew by the FCC, and should allow all your media to live in harmony. As might be expected, there's not much other than that new hard drive to set this new model apart -- the drive size is the same, as is the 2.5 firmware. The FCC tested this out on June 19th, which helps us exactly none in pinning when this will ship to stores, how much it will cost, or how they'll ever top those Joy Division designs.

Way to show your Zune ignorance. That's a standard menu option in the 2.0 firmware. It's been there since I got my 80GB 2nd Gen.

Wow. That is super tempting. Its finally gotten into a hard drive size that doesn't suck with a UI that doesn't feel like it was designed back in '01 *coughs*Apple*coughs* Oh wait. It was.

Wish microsoft would release a utf8 update, that and mass storage without registry hacking. Only things that stop zune from being perfect.

Maybe we will get a new firmware with the 120.... one can dream

Come on M$, you can do better than that!
