The only TOTAL COCKUP is that is only has a USB 1.1 interface, not

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.


You'd need a big drink of tea to soak up 4GB of file transfer like I did
(went to bed leaving it going) before I had a chance to get a reader....
