Hidden Features In 4G iPod?

There have been some rumblings about "hidden features" in the 4G iPod that Apple would spring on its competitors at a later date. Not suprisingly, heavy speculation ensued. However, an iPodHacks user has it nailed down definitively:

I have it on good authority that the secret code in 4G iPods is a portable version of RealPlayer, as users have been clamoring for stuttering, scratchy sounding audio for the iPods. According to beta tester Audrey Helpern, "Having RealPlayer on the iPod is like being in touch with the very beginning of multimedia on computers. Sometimes I close my eyes and pretend I'm on my Quadra 660AV listening to a distant sounding AM-radio feed over a 33.3k modem. Then I open my eyes and realize I'm on a 4G iPod. It's a trip."
