Is this the next iPod?

You try to take the wife out for dinner on a weekday, to get away from work for just a few hours. And what happens? A news scoop drops in your lap, and there you are, thinking, I have to blog this. Right now.  So here's the scoop: The next iPod. The one Apple is teasing the press about. The iPod Macro. Spotted in the wild on display at a neighborhood hardware store in San Francisco. How they got the prototype, I have no idea. [More photos.]
