Whoa.... Steve quits as CEO (everyone who follows Apple would have seen this coming a year ago), the share price tumbles 5%+, and all of Apple's competitors whoop for delight... ;-)
Seriously though, looking at Apple today, it will definitely survive Steve Jobs in the near to mid term, simply because they have such a huge advantage in certain markets - digital music, iPhone, iPad, consumer PCs, and more importantly, the highest profit margins in each of those markets.
What would be interesting would be to see if Apple innovation and creativity will continue, say in 5-7 years' time, when everything you see today has become obsolete. Will the people Steve has trained for the last decade or so be able to foresee tech trends the way Steve has done so brilliantly?
Side note - AAPL share price now very attractive... hmm...
