The Zune 120 has just passed the FCC and is only waiting for an official announcement from Microsoft. The hardware is similar to the Zune 80, though 120GB is nothing much next to the Newman 800 and it’s also 40GB less than the largest capacity iPod. No details on pricing. [via istartedsomething]

Microsoft and Nokia is working on giving Nokia phones access to the Zune Marketplace. There is not going to be a Nokia-Zunephone, which would’ve already brought the tech-blogging world into a mad frenzy (I’m several hours late with the news) but a more sober content delivery integration.
