PodSmith 2.0 comes to Intel Macs

MAKI Enterprise today released PodSmith 2.0, updating the synchronization application that uses an iPod as a security key. PodSmith 2.0 is completely rewritten, featuring a new user interface, Mount Lock functionality to protect data from unexpected theft or logging, and native support for Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary. PodSmith encrypts sync data to the iPod, and auto-syncs between a Mac and the digital player while allowing users to temporarily replace Safari's bookmarks with those stored on the iPod. Screen and file locking are accomplished by mounting and unmounting the iPod, while PodSmith optionally disables all applications except those specified. Users can unlock Macs by typing a password in the event that the iPod is stolen or misplaced. PodSmith 2.0 requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later, and is priced at $20.
