Kind of. Steve knew damn well that using FAT would be easily tinkered with, and others would reverse engineer the IPOD fast if they could read of how it organized it's files, it's operating instruction sets, etc (Not all the IPOD OS are hardwired in, some parts of the menu are supposedly on the first sector of the drive)
As I understand it, the IPOD uses the same file system as OSx, with the first sector being write protected and set up to be non-visible to anything without the correct instruction set so that it could not be overwritten.
