Julian Tumushabe,

I did not know him much but when I read on the internet today, I was shocked to discover he is the founder of the IPods. I would not have loved him to go. It is awful news. May his soul rest in peace. God should help us to get more innovative people like Steve Jobs. We should try to imitate and be innovative to change not only our country but the world as Steve has been doing.

Bill Gates, co founder microsoft

"The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honour."

Barack Obama, US President

 Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.

He transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.

"The world has lost a visionary.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder

Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you.
