It seems Steve will be back, while the company continues to move along. I’ve worked with Apple over the past years, and it’s interesting to see a company that is so strongly directed by the CEO’s vision, driven by technology and usability. I believe Apple will continue to grab share over the long term. We know it’s not a case of the ‘best’ products winning (or Microsoft wouldn’t own the market share it has), but maybe there’s redemption coming.

He’ll be back! Definitely..! But it doesn’t change the fact that we’ll at some point have to face a version of Apple without Steve Jobs, and I think this whole thing has opened a lot of eyes to that..

Being said how much I’d miss Steve Jobs, I also have to point out that both Phil Schiller and Jonathan Ive seem like really cool people in each their own way.. Whether they’d be able to run a business like Apple, I don’t know – but keynotes wouldn’t be all bad with either of them running the show..
