Time will tell if Apple will thrive or not. Jobs was the creative force behind Apple. Even though they have never dominated the computer world (and doubtful they will) the iPad, iPod and other gizmo's breathed new life into the company.
Can't afford an iPod?
No problem, there are quite a few low cost MP3 players on the market that allow you to transfer music you own rather than renting iTunes.
The iPad has made waves but has knock offs in the tablet market.
While Jobs did a lot to promote Apple most forget he was behind Lisa which was a miserable flop as was Next. After being kicked out of Apple he bought Pixar from Lucas and then later sold it to Disney for a nice profit.
