Tributes Flood in For Steve Jobs

This morning it was announced that Steve Jobs, the visionary behind the Apple Mac, the iPod and the iPhone, has died at the age of 56. The co-founder and former CEO of Apple had been fighting pancreatic cancer since 2004, but his death has still been felt by millions of people across the world.

Ever since he helped co-found Apple in the 1970s, his genius in technology and innovation was obvious. Merging cutting edge technology with fashionable design, he helped revolutionise the world with MacBook laptops, iPod Mp3 players, iPhones and, most recently, the iPad tablet. Indeed, such has been Apple's success under his leadership that it is now the second most valuable company in the world.

Since Jobs's death was announced, tributes have been flooding in from some of the most influential figures in the world. Below you can find a small selection.

"His brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve". Apple statement
