My guess would be the pancreatic cancer is worse than he's leading on. I wish that on nobody, but if I was in the same situation I'd probably be stepping down too. I'm sure that guy's got one hell of a bucket list
My thought is that apple's shares went down 5% right away... mmmm... and the iphone 5 is about to come out... mmmm...
I've gotta think about it..

I have to agree. I may not like Mr. Jobs very much but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I hope things are as well as they can be for him in this dark time. I wish him all the best. Now that that is over. Down with icrap. Lol
Regardless of what one thinks about his products, the man was definitely a visionary and a marketing genius.
I personally think nothing will change with his absence. He will still be in the backgrounds doing quality control.
The guy is dying. That is the only reason he is leaving.
He is leaving at a good time, they are still on top and will only now start to falter. Apple will fall for the exact same reasons they failed in the 80's. It won't be a terminal fall but they will fall.
Even if I don't like him or Apple that much I still respect him and what he did. His health is worsening I believe. I saw him once in Palo Alto and man has he become thin. Good luck towards his health though.

I wouldn't pity him too much. He has the money for any and all treatments available. It's safe to say he has a panel of the best medical minds looking over his health.
Granted, it's a terrible way to go, but I'm sure he is in good hands due to his company's success.

Expected Step Down
Given his recent couple of years and the known health battle (without knowing the full extent) it is really no surprise he decided to step down. Will Apple hurt from his step down? Yes! Will Apple continue to fall? Quite possibly but only time will tell.
Regardless of previous posts about how much money he has, it is still a disease that I do not wish to see anyone with. While I did not agree with all of the Apple "mentality" I cannot find fault in Jobs ability to innovate and market the products. I can only imagine if Apple had kept him on from the beginning where Apple would be at now.
What do you mean regardless of previous posts? Nobody has wished this illness on him. All I said was that he is in good hands.
Posted with my model confused HTC Inspire via XDA premium.
One thing about Steve Jobs is he paved a nice path for the future, I don't think we would be where we are today if it wasn't for the iPhone and iPad, but just like with any pioneer apples days are numbered..
P.S. I never owned a Apple product
As a person I feel sorry for him. But as a company, I hope apple fails.

That's your reason for them never failing? Clearly they aren't teaching history in schools anymore. I will give Apple 2 more years before they go down the drain- and that's only because they have product momentum right now.
Who cares on this forum
Thats for the iphone forum
Go ANDROID !
I have decided that when the REAL iPhone 5 debuts, im going to iOS, its more solid than Android... sure with android there are a variety but I would rather have one phone that can upgrade at the same time others of its kind upgrade instead of trying to hassle to *root* a phone n do all that other crap and risk bricking it just to stay current, well do that or buy another phone, its ridiculous actually.... and I saw a similar post to this one and that guy was right, Google has customization yes but when it comes down to it, it pains me to say but google is crap compared to apple as far as being current and stuff u knw? So whenever the iphone 5 drops I will not deal with android anymore I just can't tolerate this mess anymore

This is the reason why surveys say that ios is for girls and android for mens!!!!!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I agree that the iOS has its good points. But for full functionality of your own phone you have to jailbreak it. How is that different than rooting your android? I have had an iPhone 3Gs and 4 and neither of them have come close to offering me all that I can have and do with my Infuse. And guess what that's my opinion, it works for me and my needs. Am I putting the iPhones down? Not really, if you want to drive an off the showroom floor mid grade model that comes with a stock package that is as you buy it then go for it. Personally I prefer to know how my device works at its core as well as be able to modify that as I see fit, but again that's me. I will not buy another iOS device until they allow the freedom I have with my android. I own both Mac and Win machines and an Ubuntu and a Slackware machine so I'm not pro or anti apple I get a device that fits my needs. If you need an iPhone go for it but what's the point of spreading negativity in a forum where the iPhone is not the focus.

Keep dreaming on! iOS 5 is an year away, like a distant dream... and some lame people are already dreaming of it. No wonder people find apple fan boys so lame and incapable.

WHAT? Oh my, you're just proving minute by minute that you didn't research the best device for your needs before you made a purchase. You have no one to blame but yourself for your situation. Ignorance is bliss!
well i am having a mobile phobia thats why i am keep changing my mobile phone like after a week the phobia i am having is .. when there is a minor or even unoticable scratch fade aur even a dot on the mobile i get frustrated and then i want to buy a new phone ... i am tired of these things but my phobia wont let me stop .. what do i do ??
This is an expensive phobia...
So even if you've got a case or screen protector on there?

If money is not a problem for you, then enjoy the phobia. I am the same way when comes to car. So I feel your pain man.

I wouldn't say phobia... this is more along the lines of OCD.
You'd just have to force yourself to deal with minor imperfections. No one can help, it's all up to you to force yourself to ignore the faults and try to force rational thinking as to why you want to keep the phone...

Too much money in it for the government not to step in. Some money will be paid from android to apple but that's all that will happen if the patents are upheld.
I would laugh if Apple tries to sue Google for the several things they stole from android. Especially noted the drop down notification bar that I recently saw my girlfriends iPhone has the ability to do.
I hope Google tries to fight back on that stuff.

Why do bad things *apple* happen to good people *Google*.
Apple is pretty stupid to sue Google for what they created and improved. Apple is just a monopolizing S.O.B.
Apple is just a rotten fruit that will decay soon, I hope Google does something about this.
This is nothing new. Although Apple has made strides in their field, they try to kill off any decent competition in their market. They'll patent **** that shouldn't be patented and sue based on that. For example, suing Samsung for using slide to unlock. They're pretty pathetic overall. Apple will never decay, which is both a bad and a good thing. They simply have incredible marketing and brand management. That's why they can release something small like video recording on a brand new piece of hardware, and people will upgrade to it without hesitation.

Nice to see someone gets it. Apple is the largest US company by market cap. Not only the largest but as of right now it's 50% larger than second place(Exxon-Mobile). It's not going anywhere for a very long time. While it's tactics may seem dirty to the public this stuff happens all the time in the business world. That's why we have a patent office in this country. You can hate apple all you want but it won't make them go away. Their business model is second to none and they will continue to grow.
Companies are doing underhanded things in order to obtain an advantage over their competition? Tha-tha-that's not fair! My trust in huge, faceless, multinational corporations is forever shaken!

The same thing I said upthread. Sammi just has to pay out some cash. They're already appealing so it will take another year before the final amount gets hashed out. As it stands now Apple asked for 2.5B in damages and was awarded 1.05B. Android ain't going anywhere. Neither is Apple.

While I am happy that someone is fighting back against Apple, and am defenately on Googles side on that one, I am asking myself where all of these trends are leading.
Instead of being concerned about User satisfaction and service, companies seem to tend more and more towards monopolizing and trying to get features from other devices and applications, instead of just leading onward and trying to get the best product.
I think a little competition goes a long way in increasing development, and history has shown in many cases that certain developments are being made by different parties independantly once their time has come.
In the end I believe that no matter who wins or loses the lawsits, if this trend goes on the way it does, the only one losing out will be the users.
I just see a much brighter future with companies supporting and encouraging eachother, instead of fighting.
After all, theres enough money, users and applications for everyone.

That is what everyone EXCEPT for Apple wanted. But, someone has to fight back. One of the main reasons Samsung lost the case is that they spent most of their time on defense. Apple has spent so much time playing offense, let's see how they fair when the tables are turned. And that article hardly goes into what the case is really for.

Ya that's true! I honestly think that the reason why apple had that law suite was because they are scared of android and the popularity of it. Apple wants to be at the top of the market and bringing google down is in there agenda IMO. I just hope that this dosent turn into law suite after law suite, then it would make both companies look bad and nothing would get done. I think google should take on apple and do what they have to do and put an end to this mess
I'm definitely on Google side...
Go Google...Go Android..
