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.
