Who will protect apple now?

Although Steve Jobs is really an important person to Apple company, I believe that Apple company would still remain the top in few years. It's still pretty for Androids or other system to beat down Apple's system. Apple system is not just an operation platform for mobile phone but has connection to its own software store. And there many software relied on this huge Apple's software store. If the Androids or other system want to be better than Apple, they have to persuade other software companies to use their platform as software operation system. It's not an easy task. Most consumers are not willing to change their cell phones in order to use another operation system.

All said and done, Apple is a huge company and they will more than likely have some of the best business brains in the world to keep Steve Jobs' vision going. I know a lot of people in the PC market who love Apple and will always continue to buy their stuff. _Derek
