Hey everyone,
Shocking news coming out of the technology world just now. Engadget.com is reporting that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple Inc., just weeks before a rumored annual press conference announcing the new iPhone 5 and other new products. Steve just published the following letter to Apple employees:
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
