Future of Apple ?

Mervyn

Following from the sad news that Steve Jobs is again on 'indefinite sick leave' it brings into question where Apple are heading without their 'key man' at the helm.

As 'Mr Apple' he has become such an important driving force behind the company that its commercial future has become so dependent and linked to him being there. There is as far as I know no obvious successor in the wings. It is probably premature to predict its demise as such especially given it recent run of success from iphone to ipad but without Jobs it would definitely not be the same company.

Difficult call. I've been thinking about this since the announcement.

Apple without Jobs was a disaster, but they must have a very talented team there to produce what they have done over the last decade.

I just hope they don't find an Apple Steve Ballmer to take over when the time comes
