Hope this isnt a fake. And why does it still have buttons? We need a touchscreen device!

JefTek · 08-18-2008, 08:02 AM

I added the link to the FCC PDF to the post, so I would say it is definately on it's way.

Also, It really needs to be a hybrid device with a touch screen AND Buttons. Using the iPod touch or iPhone at the gym really sucks when it's strapped to your arm while working out

Scrapz616 · 08-18-2008, 08:12 AM

Sounds cool, maybe that will make other people want to buy it. Nice find.

Y0SHi · 08-18-2008, 08:24 AM

120GB wow.. Im Still trying to get a 80GB lol i filld up my 30 Like Nothing... If this does come out i think i might jus get that one and that should solve all my Music and Video's Maybe even have alot still left over..

Justananomaly · 08-18-2008, 08:36 AM

Also nice website Jeftek, check mine out if you want, Justananomaly. It's not entirely done yet, still have some things to add.

I was on abi this afternoon when I saw this...

Zune 120 On The Horizon

The original story here...

article.FCC approves Microsoft’s unreleased 120GB Zune - istartedsomething

They say it'll probably cost around 299. Also noted, it's probably meant to fill the gap left between Apple's 80gb and 160 gb ipods. While I have no need for the extra memory, I'm sure some music junkies will.

newstart · 08-18-2008, 01:14 PM

who really needs 120 gb zune. come on. most 80 gig users never reach their max. I foresee that only 100 people probably buy it.

leefy008 · 08-18-2008, 01:24 PM

there's already a thread about this

amplitudefreq · 08-18-2008, 02:14 PM

i guess that wuld be better for movies, but i wonder why they would just release it without any new updates or any changes to the zune 80. I think they really need to change it up and do something different other than just increasing memory, even though 80 is already plenty for most people

What, the entire FCC report on it? Unlikly... its real alright, though I do hope we still see some new products this Autumn

O'Doyle · 08-18-2008, 03:05 PM

Oh sorry leefy, I searched and didn't find it, maybe I didn't look hard enough. But the good news is it passed it's radiation test!

The FCC isn't going to lie and Microsoft isn't going to risk legal issues for no reason...

I hope they do something like that also, I am brand new to the zune community and I sold my ipod touch to buy my zune. The touch screen is fun but it gets old having to clean the smudges constantly. I really like my zune a lot more. Buttons and touch screen so you had a choice would be nice for everyone. But I bet you it will just be a 80GB zune with a 120GB HD. Sorry if there is info on the web site to say otherwise, it wouldn't load for me.

creative zune · 08-18-2008, 06:21 PM

honestly what the hell are you going to do with 120gb? music and videos ? .......... thats dumb to me because i have a 250gb hard drive and theres no way i will every own 120 gbs of music and videos unless MS is releasing HD videos in the market place or sumthn like that (who knows ) no search ? so it will take foreva to find a song (hmmmm)

HAS ANYONE even filled up the 80GB to THe BRIM (MAX)

?

SilentWalrus · 08-18-2008, 06:26 PM

That would be stupid if they just made it have a larger HDD.
It needs to be touch and have a built in spork.

WhatTheHelllIsSka · 08-18-2008, 06:33 PM

I'd rather have buttons than a touch screen. But that's probably cause I'd get all OCD'd and be constantly cleaning the screen. I think iTouch's are ridiculous and ugly.

O'Doyle · 08-18-2008, 06:35 PM

I usually hold my spork and Zune in the same hand anyways, so all's I need is the touch

phreakin318 · 08-18-2008, 06:55 PM

i dont think i have heard 120 gb of music in my life ,much less to put on a zune. i can put every movie i ever seen and every song i ever heard and prolly not put a dent in a 120gb. just a way to make more money and fame for microsoft if you ask me, and the dummies who buy it to look a little bit richer lol.
