Steve Jobs Dies At 56

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who single-handedly changed the way the world listened to music, communicated on the phone and used the computer, has died, leaving behind a vacuum that will be hard to fill.

Jobs, 56, was a pancreatic survivor and had been battling poor health for several years. He was surrounded by his wife and immediate family when he died in Palo Alto, California.

He died one day after Apple unveiled its latest iPhone, the gadget that transformed mobile communications.

In a brief statement, Apple’s Board of Directors said “we are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.”
