The new PodLock software from Micromat looks like it could be really handy for people that like to use their iPod as more than just a dumb music storage device (there is a hard drive in there, remember?) It's namesake feature is the ability to create a hidden partition on your iPod for store personal data—not that useful by itself, but pretty handy when you add OSX's FileVault encryption on top of it. It will also allow you to backup and restore the iPod volume to another drive—don't know if that's a disc image or the files themselves, but either way it could be handy. And probably most interesting to me, it also offers a way to defrag your iPod's hard drive for increased performance and battery life. As far as I know, the only way to do this before was to reformat and reload.
Optimize the data on your iPod. By using PodLock's defragment tool, your iPod's drive will run faster. This means songs will load more quickly and data can be retrieved much faster.
Hide your important files. PodLock allows you to create an "invisible" partition. It's like having a secret drive for your data files that only you can see by entering your personal password.* If you use your iPod as an external drive to transport data, you'll want this protection in case you should ever lose your iPod.
Backup and restore. PodLock allows you to seamlessly backup and restore your primary iPod volume to your Macintosh drive. This is especially useful if you store files for transport on your iPod.
Manage pictures and voice recordings. PodLock gives you an easy and convenient way to access other types of data on your iPod.
