Tech Weekly podcast: Steve Jobs steps down as Apple CEO

In a special programme we discuss the career of Apple guru Steve Jobs as he steps down from his role as chief executive. Jemima Kiss, Charles Arthur and Dan Crow of UK startup Songkick share their thoughts on the effect Jobs has on computing and the company that just two weeks ago became the world's biggest (by market capitalisation).

Dan, who worked with Jobs on his return to the company in the mid-90s suggests that Steve may be the greatest marketer of our time, because of his ability to understand products and what people find exciting in them.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak also shares a story from a turning point during the early years of the company – the launch of the Mac – and how Jobs's tyrannical reputation was evident even then.

We also discuss Apple's new chief executive Tim Cook, and ask what the future now holds for Apple.
