That sucks. In a world where the technology and innovation continues to move further east from the United States (India, China, Japan), Apple has been a pioneer in new technologies and user-interfaces with their iPhone and iPad technology. To lose the visionary that is Steve Jobs is a huge blow to the company, who was basically nothing until he took over and shaped it in to the most successful American company in the world. I hope his health improves, but it sounds like he resigned because he's beginning to see the end of his days are fast approaching. Very sad. *hugs iPhone*
For the most part it was inevitable. But hes just stepping back a bit, not leaving the company all together.
For now. But if his health continues to decline, he will leave Apple completely. Very sad news, indeed.
Looks like he needs a Job YEAHHHHHHHHH! In all seriousness, hope he gets better and that his sucessor leads Apple in the right direction.
