Steve Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple -- Engadget
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve
 


I have been reading same threads in this forum lately about Steve Jobs stepping down as CEO... What could be its effect? Jobs is still part of the Board though.
 
I read about this earlier, I personally think it sucks that he's stepping down - but someone did say he was on the board, which he still has an effect on.
 
Apple came back alive because of its new products- ipod,ipad,iphone, as long as the company can keep innovating things should be ok.


so what next Apple ?
