As news hits Asia that Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, has resigned, Apple fans say they remain confident about the future of the company.

Zhangjie, a hanghai resident, said, "Apple is such a big brand name. Even if Jobs is no longer there, China is still such a big market, so it doesn't matter if there is a change in leadership. The company will not give up on the Chinese market. There is still a lot of room to develop this market and I believe they will push on even stronger."

Naota Fujiwara, a Tokyo resident, said, "Apple's biggest draw is that it always seems to be creating new products, and I fear that may slow down somewhat."

Clive Allcock, a Sydney resident, said, "Well I think it's rather sad because it reflects his illness but in terms of its influence on the company, I'm sure they've been planning for this for quite some time. He's done a mighty job getting Apple up and running and it's a great tribute to him personally. He'll be well remembered in the world of computing as he takes off to do other jobs, but i'm sure it won't materially affect the company."
