     It's really a sad day.  Here is his letter to the Apple Board of Directors.


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


      Personally, I don't think things are going to change much.  I think Tim 
Cook and the company share the same vision of the future and I also think the 
"road map" for the company has been set for several years down the line.  I 
don't think this was a "sudden" thing at all, and a lot of planning was done 
already.




Take Care
