Jonathan Ive Gives Huge iPod "nano" To Friend

Jonny Ive Gifts Giant iPod nano

Jonathan Ive, the industrial designer at Apple, has always entered the spotlight in a big way. From the iMac and iPhone, to a 5-foot iPod nano, he's always stepping ahead of our imaginations. Ive reportedly gave his friend, fashion designer Paul Smith, a giant replica of a pink iPod nano for his birthday.

On his personal blog, Paul Smith writes, "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!"

We only have one question: Where is Paul hiding his 15-foot MacBook Pro?

If that's 5 feet, wouldn't this guy be about 8 feet tall? Optical illusion, or am I just crazy?

Not even close

Than replica is not even close to 5'. It's probably not even 4'. My guess is about 3' 6", based on the height of the table (30" ±).

I'm not familiar the the Imperial measurement system, as I live in the Denmark, where we use the metrical.

But according to google 5 feet is approx. 1,5meters, in my oppinion it looks like it's quite close to that?
