Yes, it does.
Additionally the H2 has four internal mics. IIRC you can use that to 
create decent surround sound effects and 360Â recordings. Personally 
i have a H4, and i'm very happy with it. A friend has the H2 and i 
was very impressed with his recording results too.

Having used both i believe, that the H2 is equal or superior to the H4 
when used with internal mics as a standalone recording device. 
The H4 on the other hand is a portable studio, that contains 
everything to make small music productions. Even the limit of only 4 
tracks isn't really a problem, as this only means you can only play 4 
tracks at once. Of course you can record as many tracks  as your 
memory card can hold and choose from them which  4 to play, you can 
merge tracks - like record drums and bass separatly adn merge them 
into only one track...
It's a great deal for the few extra buck compared to the H2, provided 
you need all tose features ;)
