Tim Cook’s Email

Team:

I am looking forward to the amazing opportunity of serving as CEO of the most innovative company in the world. Joining Apple was the best decision I’ve ever made and it’s been the privilege of a lifetime to work for Apple and Steve for over 13 years. I share Steve’s optimism for Apple’s bright future.

Steve has been an incredible leader and mentor to me, as well as to the entire executive team and our amazing employees. We are really looking forward to Steve’s ongoing guidance and inspiration as our Chairman.

I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change. I cherish and celebrate Apple’s unique principles and values. Steve built a company and culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that—it is in our DNA. We are going to continue to make the best products in the world that delight our customers and make our employees incredibly proud of what they do.

I love Apple and I am looking forward to diving into my new role. All of the incredible support from the Board, the executive team and many of you has been inspiring. I am confident our best years lie ahead of us and that together we will continue to make Apple the magical place that it is.

Tim

We don't follow the curve. We define it.

e.Digital invented, patented and pioneered the foundational technologies that today allow your camcorder, cell phone, digital camera, voice recorder and numerous other multimedia devices to record information onto Flash memory cards… long before most of the world even knew what Flash memory was.

e.Digital developed the first solid state music player capable of playing what is now known as iTunes® formatted music… years before the first iPod®.

10 years before Apple’s Siri®, e.Digital created and introduced VoiceNav® technology allowing consumers to navigate and command portable media players using their voice.

Most people remember the first in-ear speaker/microphone devices sold by Jabra® Corporation but, what most people don’t know is, that e.Digital invented the underlying technology which was later sold to Jabra.

Nunchi...ahead of the curve? It's in our DNA.
