Honour goes to Apple gadget guru

Congratulations to Jonathan Ive:

the man behind Apple's iconic iPod and iMac, has become a CBE in the New Year Honours list.

He is widely seen as one of the key figures in Apple's resurrection.

Mr Ive started working for Apple in 1992 but exerted a big influence on its products only in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to the company he co-founded.

Mr Ive's first design for Apple, the iMac, was hugely influential and has been followed by a series of other widely admired gadgets.
