Fears grow Steve Jobs may step down from Apple for good

There is a living drama in the technology world about Steve Jobs's health. In my opinion, it's not a real relevant problem, just because Steve is a man, and like everyone else, he is mortal. The real discussion for me is how the share holders alowed this situation to come to this point. Apple needs a succession plan, and it's more important than any divinity some people give to Steve Jobs.
He is important to the history of Apple, and the computer market as well, of course. He is responsible for some of the most interesting cases of innovation in the last years. But some of this cases are not so spetacular as people think. It's just because it's him, and because it's Apple.
For example, iPhone is not such a wonderful gadget. A friend of mine published in his blog an article comparing iPhone to a Nokia, and also to a choko! See the post here.
I'm looking for changes in the Apple policies in the next months, or maybe we will have bad news about it.
