Frme here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08..._jobs_resigns/

CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

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 ®

Same story at pro Apple site Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/24/s...-ceo-of-apple/

If engadget says that... I'm sure it's TRUE or just a MARKETING stunt

Now when will Elop resign from Nokia!?
Answer:
When Nokia has been sold to Microsoft, just like he resigned at Macromedia when he sold it to Adobe, after only being a CEO for a couple months at Macromedia

it's called going out on top. Stylish move Steve, congrats, especially after all you have been through with that company.

So begins the long slow decline of Apple BACK into obscurity.
