Apple's Ive, iPod, Display receive design awards

Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Apple's head of industrial design Jonathan Ive were in London on Wednesday night to receive four coveted design awards from Design and Art Direction (D&AD), according to Macworld UK. Apple took home Silver Awards for both the fourth-generation iPod and iPod mini in the 'Products for the Home' category (Yellow Pencil) and a Silver Award (Yellow Pencil) for the Cinema Display in the 'Product for Work and Industry' category. The report also notes that Ive received a special award in recognition of his world-class achievements in design: the D&AD president's award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry. The award, chosen by the D&AD president himself, was described as "perhaps the biggest professional recognition" for Apple's design guru.

That would seem a little unusual? The article indicates 'asked' not offered... Hubris, photo op, employer priviledge or unbridled praise?

MacWorld UK article UPDATED;

Though no acceptance speeches were given by other awards recipients, Jobs had previously told the D&AD that he would like to say something about Ive. Given that Ive was receiving a President's Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Industry, the D&AD agreed to this.
