i-lock?

Looked at the video- it looks like a waste of money. There's nothing preventing a thief from picking up the bike and walking away with it. He could then cut off the seatpost at his leisure.

I think it might make a good secondary, or tertiary back up lock. I wouldn't want it for a primary lock.

Ok idea for securing your seat/post and rear wheel,but I would still use a U lock up front.

Agreed. IMO the ring lock is more convenient and costs less. Some also now can be used with a cable or chain that attaches to the ring lock for securing the front wheel or securing the bike to a fixed object. Most frames are not designed for the seatpost quick release to be operated hundreds to thousands of times, flexing the top of the seat tube, so I would worry about frame failure in that area too.
