Steve Jobs working from home on next iPad, iPhoneThe Wall Street Journal is reporting that Steve Jobs is actively involved in strategic decisions and product development despite his health-related leave of absence from Apple. According to WSJ sources, Jobs has been taking business meetings at his home and on the phone. Two of the areas in which Jobs is actively involved are the next generation iPad, widely expected to go on sale in the next month, and the next generation iPhone.
The Wall Street Journal also reports that Jobs has been seen back on Apple's campus, as well as out and about in Palo Alto with another Apple executive. Jobs announced on January 17 that he was taking a medical leave of absence to focus on his health. Apple COO Tim Cook once again stepped up to the Apple helm while Jobs is away, a role in which he performed exceptionally well during the previous absence. As Jobs is widely seen as vital to the continued success of Apple (which he is, but IMHO Apple is solid in creative and business talent), the news of his continued involvement in the company's two highest profile products is no doubt producing a sigh of relief from nervous investors and Apple fans alike.Steve Jobs working from home on next iPad, iPhone originally appeared on TUAW on Thu, 10 Feb 2011 22:00:00 EST.
