The world of technology has suffered a huge loss today, with the passing of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs. Jobs led the company through the development of iconic devices such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod. It is safe to say he shaped the world of mobile technology and created the world of smartphones we live in today. Jobs had retired from Apple earlier this year due to his ill health and sadly lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on October 5th. RIP Steve Jobs.
