I thought this used to work on the H300, but I could very well have just not tested it. :) What happens if you attempt to power off the hardware for the H300 while on charge? Does it just ignore the request or does it power straight back up again? >> wonder why Rockbox doesn't drop the user into the charging >> screen when the user requests a power down instead of leaving >> them in the browser/WPS. > This is by design.

I guess I thought it might consume less power when unnecessary hardware like the audio chips, etc. was powered down. I guess this is pretty minimal though and not worth being concerned about. As a matter of curiosity, what was the problem with having the H300 boot straight into Rockbox when the charger is connected? I guess it has to spin up the hard drive to boot Rockbox, so there'd have to be some sort of charging screen in the bootloader, but I get the impression that there were other reasons that this didn't work.
