Apple has already set up a memorial page for Steve with an e-mail address where you can send your condolences to Steve's family. 

The statement from Apple's Board reads: 

We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today. 

Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. 

His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.

This is certainly sad news, and we'll have more as it comes out. He was just 56 years old.
