Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple and handed over the reins to his successor Tim Cook.

His resignation letter copy is posted below:
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
Steve was an inspiration to millions and was one of the greatest CEO’s and some the best in the past 25 years. He single handedly took Apple to where it is today.

Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco, California and was adopted by Paul and Clara and grew up in Mountain View, California, Steve’s biological parents were a Syrian father and an American student.
Steve cofounded Apple with Steve Wozniak Mike Markkula and was a college dropout.
He was a visionary par excellence and a marketing genius.

He has recovered from pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant. He had been on medical leave for the past few months and had returned for the launch of iPad 2.
He was the Buddhist with a temper.

We will miss you Steve and love the products envisaged by you. !
