Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple.
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
What does this mean for the future of Apple, Ninjas? Out to Jobs btw, lets hope his health is not failing him.

As I recall he was just rehired to be like basically a spokesperson anyway?
Nevermind, I remember reading that somewhere but maybe I'm thinking of Bill Gates or just confused.
I don't think this will have much of an effect on the company's technology or anything, they have entire teams of R&D and all that.

I guess he's the chairman of the board now, so not sure how big of a difference that makes as far as his responsibilities go.
Hopefully this isn't because of his medical issues.

The FT today quotes sources claiming that his health has deteriorated quite significantly, which would chime with his own admission that he is simply no longer capable of being the CEO. Typically a chairman will have far less to do on a day-to-day basis which is why he could remain in that capacity.
Anyhoo, I hope his health returns.
