I hadn't seen this closing paragraph before: "Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices with iPad."

When did they switch out the "Apple ignited the personal computer revolution..."?

I am in shock. He doesn't seem like a guy that would retire at such a young age. He's such a workaholic that I thought he would work well into his 70s. =\

Now he can work on whatever he wishes to.. Why do you assume he will just sit on a couch?

I'm sorry, my comment was aimed for someone that has worked with Mansfield at Apple before. This is not a place to start a flame war, take that stuff elsewhere.

Somewhere between selling 3 million iPads in 80 days [1] and selling 1.7M iPhone 4 [2].
