Zune 120 Now In Red & Blue

There's some new color options over at Zune Originals for the Zune 120! Unfortunately, neither are brown. (What? I happen to really have liked my brown Zune 30!) But you do have the option of either blue or red Zune 120s. I'm not sure when they might actually show up in stores but if you want one now for yourself or as a gift for the holidays, I think getting the Zune Original is worth it anyway. Its interesting to note that the blue and red models have a brushed aluminum back like the Zune 80 did rather than the glossy plastic. I assume that means that the red and blue zunes will also be a matte finish.

Donald Bell of cnet also reports that there is rumors of a white version but nothing official on that. Clearly a man of good taste as he also wants a brown version. I think we'll be waiting a long time on that one though!

FCC Tests 120GB Zune. New Models on the Way?

"Ever since Samsung had announced their new 120GB 1.8-inch hard drive in April 2007, Zune fansites has been buzzing with anticipation of a new Zune fitted with the higher capacity drives. Now the wait is nearly over as the FCC publishes a test report (and I assume approves) of the new 120GB Zunes. The 120GB Zune pictured above looks identical to the 80GB Zune and that's expected since the hard drive is of identical size too. The firmware used is nothing special too - version 2.5 (1614). Oh and in case you were wondering about the radiation emissions test results, the Zune passed with flying colors so it won't fry your body parts. Good to know."

So I guess Microsoft is planning on releasing a 120 GB version of the Zune80 (Zune120?), which shows little change from its smaller-capacity brethren. Why Zune would release such a player now is baffling. It is too far away from the Holiday Season to be part of gen3 (Zune4, 8 and 80 were announced in October), and it doesn't look like a special edition. Hopefully Microsoft will give us some answers, and soon.
