Cesar Confirms Zune 120

Posted by Soccerfreak24 on 08/23/08

Well, it's official. Cesar Menendez himself has just confirmed the zune 120 to be real(if the FCC photo didn't quite satisfy you). However, not only has he confirmed that, but he's mentioned a bit more than just a new capacity, here's the message Jason Dunn received:

"You've probably all seen about 120GB @the FCC- and just wanted to send you a note to confirm that is indeed part of the plan. There's definitely more details coming in the way of new software and hardware, pricing etc." -Cesar Menendez

The good news is this sure keeps the hopes alive for a November 2008 release of Zune 3, and more updates for Zune 1-2 users. However, the question is, is 120 gig enough to compete with apples 160 gig classic?

NOPE

Right now, people don’t know about the zune. Having something that is “less storage than the iPod” is going to pass people’s mind. If the 120 GB is the top of the Zune storage line then the word the Zune team will be hearing is…NEXT!

The storage isn’t the only thing people are looking at.
There are people who don’t care of a price, and there are people who don’t. So far, the Zune has been cheaper than the iPod’s counterparts, and the hardware/software is at par (if not better) with Apples.

It all comes down to what you like. The iPod isn’t the standard of portable music. It’s what you want your MP3 player to do and how you want it to do it.

I’m personally looking forward to the Zune120. I’ll hold much more than my 30, and I’m actually stoked on the games.

I don’t think the point is to fully compete with the Ipod but rather fill a niche that they don’t cover. If it saves $50 to get something with a compacity that suits a person better then it does want they would want. I could get a Zune 80 but I know the storage is so much more than I would ever need which is why I would rather save some money and get a 30 gig version (though I want to see a 30gig version of the 80.)
