I can confirm this, it's a great device.

This sounds interesting, haven't found that yet. Could you post (or 
mail) a link, please? Thanks.

Another nice feature of the H340 is that it can act as USB-host (OTG), 
so you can connect a digicam and transfer your data to the hd on the 
player. Very useful on long journeys where you don't want to take a 
laptop with you and take more pictures than you have SD-cards, ... for. 
;-) Not to forget the 12-14 hours of playtime (charge either via USB or 
power cord). Plays WMA and ASF as well. Of course it's kind of heavy 
with 200g.
