Scenario: user is using player while charging, then wants to shut down,
key lock and go to bed, leaving the player to charge overnight. User
then wants to quickly disconnect the unit from charger the next morning
and drop in a bag, rather than having to disengage key lock, power off
and re-engage. Of course, user could simply just avoid key lock after
use in the first place. As I said, it isn't a huge inconvenience, but it
seems to be inconsistent with most expected behaviour and the existing
behaviour when an Archos is connected to power, although Jens noted taht
the charging screen might be removed which would eliminate this latter
inconsistency. Also, in future on the H300, to be consistent, if Rockbox
boots as soon as power is connected rather than dropping into a charging
screen, Rockbox must be loaded and auto resume may engage, meaning the
user would have to wait and stop playback after the charger is connected.
