The only TOTAL COCKUP is that is only has a USB 1.1 interface, not USB2.
WHY did they do that ? Yes, you can stick the card in an external
card-reader....
What's the problem? Speed of transfer? Start it copying files and take
a leak. Have a cup of tea. Pet your cat. Decide who you want for
president. It was probably a cost/compatibility issue. The H2 is more
of a "real people's" recorder than a cutting edge product. If it was
an 8-track recorder, that might justify the speed of USB2, but there
just isn't that much data to worry about speed.
It took under half an hour to dump a couple of hours of mixed .wav &
multi channel recordings I made the other day in formats up to 24bit/
96KHz, totalling 1.67 Gig. I say under, because I was doing other stuff
at the time, so I don't know when it finished...
If it's *that* urgent, then take your laptop with you & use it as an
interface. ;-)
I don't yet have a card reader that'll cope with cards over 2 Gig, so I
don't know how much time it would save.
