New Zune players about to launch

Microsoft is reportedly preparing to launch upgraded Zune players in the US, with a new 120GB model and an 8GB economy device, ahead of an expected Apple announcement.

And talking of that all-new-iPod press announcement expected tomorrow, which we were at the start of today's Daily, Microsoft are also reportedly getting ready to launch upgraded versions of their competing Zune players, though only in the US, obviously, given that the Microsoft device is still yet to reach us here in Europe.

Web reports say the IT firm have already shipped some of its upgraded players to retailers, and new versions will included a new 120GB player and an economy line 8GB device.

It's thought Microsoft won't launch their players with the kind of high profile media launch Steve Jobs is expected to deliver for Apple tomorrow, but they may get their revamped Zune players to market quicker. We'll see I guess.
