Jonathan Ive Gives Giant iPod Nano as Birthday Gift

[MacRumors]

English fashion designer Sir Paul Smith revealed on his blog that he has received a giant model of a pink iPod nano from his good friend Jonathan Ive as a birthday present.

On Friday 3rd July, I received a really lovely mad gift for my birthday (which is on the 5th) from Jonathan Ive and Jody who works with him at Apple - a perfect model of an Ipod but as you can see slightly bigger than usual. Jonny knows I like strange things; as the real thing gets smaller, he sends me a giant version!

As many Apple fans know, the famously publicity-shy Ive is Senior Vice President of Industrial Design at Apple, noted for leading the design of most of Apple's products released since his appointment to the position in 1997 alongside the return of Steve Jobs. Ive's groundbreaking designs are credited with being a significant contribution to the rebirth of Apple and have earned him numerous prominent design awards.

Too cool.

That would be fun to have in the living room and modify the internals so that you could use it as your stereo.

Probably a long time.

But it would sure be hard to carry in your hip pocket.

They are from the window displays Apple had a few months back. They do not work, but are way cool.

I have a yellow one.

 

[munkees]

I ordered him an ZAGG InvisibleShield for his iPod nano as my birthday present to him.

The frickin' thing cost me $1125 plus shipping. Should have used the coupon code!

I could be wrong and not that it matters, but isn't that a mini not the nano?

 

[freeny]

"Did it break?"

"No, but the pavement did!"
