Product Description:
- 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 (excluding music files). 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.
- Learn Technical Details about your iPod. Find out when and where your iPod was manufactured, the current version of the iPod system software as well as other important technical information.
*PodLock's secret partition only prevents casual observers from gaining access to your iPod data. For truly secure data protection, you should also use the file encryption features of FileVault which is included with the Mac OS X operating system.

I bought this and wasted my money. No, it's never caused me a problem, but it does the same stuff as TechTool Pro does so they are selling you the same product twice if you won both. On top of that, TTP's defragger is terrible and crashed many times causing much data loss for me. Do you think I'm going to truch PodLock's defragger? Heck no, as it's got to be the same code. ProSoft just released a similar product that copies its diagnostic app called Drive Genius. Personally, I find these companies trying to sell you the same code twice rather insulting. Do yourself a favor and pass on this app.
Use if you want to reformat

This product does nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. If you have a Mac-formatted iPod it will defrag it (big deal). If you have a Windows-formatted (FAT) iPod, which is needed for multiple computers or OSes, it won't even do that. Beyond that, it does nothing. As in not a thing. Hidden files? Big deal, use Disk Utility and encrypt them. I have several useful MicroMat products, but this one was MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN. Maybe if this read and allowed configuration of iPod settings, it would be worth a $5-10 donation. But it doesn't, and it's not--let alone $30, $40 or $65.
