My friend recommended this program at http://www.bvdtech.com for my iPod. It seems like its just note files. My question is: Do you think it will harm the iPod? There are other companies that also have programs that work off note files like this one so it seems alright. My friend hasn't had any problems.

Well, first off this is an Application or iPod question, so I would recommend asking in the appropriate area next time, but I will answer your question. All the program does is add notes and folders to the notes section, something you could drag & drop there. It's the same as you using TextEdit & putting a .txt file there.
On a side note, To really write a program for iPod, you would have to some serious hacking to the iPod OS, something I'm pretty sure is classified as reverse engineering (Illegal).
P.S. If it works for your friend, don't you think it will work for you?

There is nothing illegal about reverse engineering as long as you do not break encryption, especially if you're simply adding compatibility.

Violation of the EULA. Legally questionable if not illegal.
The thing in question is not a program, it's a bunch of note files with hyperlinks.

RealMedia managed to break the FairPlay system... that's reverse engineering, and it didn't seem like there was a lot legal recourse that Apple could take. Or was I not paying attention.
