He will stay on as Chairman of the board. I wonder if Tim Cooke is a worthy successor. This is a blow for Apple. I have greatest admiration for Steve Jobs. A true leader!

In before the fanboys declare Apple dead in the water.
His resignation was inevitable. Now it's up to Apple to continue their singular approach to presentation, sales and product development.
I'm quite sure the next few iterations of the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, et al are already planned out. The true test of Apple's mettle will come probably next summer or so.
Regardless... not a sad day. A man doing his job, taking them from 2.17 Billion in 1997 to 348.75 Billion in 2011 is not bad work.

Did you listen to his commencement speech at Stanford? Very moving. He was adopted and dropped out of college due to expense, that his low middle class parents couldn't afford.

This is quite sad news, but we knew it will eventually happen. All the best for him.

i don't know Tim Cook but in the 30 years since the tech industry went through boom, i have never seen someone else like Jobs. so i would logically conclude that Tim Cook is not a 100% replacement for Jobs, but probably the 2nd best that he could find.
i am also going to wager that as long as Jobs is still around on the board and as apple employee, he will be working very hard to train / mentor Tim to continue building Apple's success.
will it mean the downfall of Apple eventually? in the short term - no. in the long term - yes. but that's just my guess
