Steve Jobs is one of the great minds behind Apple and the public is wondering, without Steve, who will protect us from the mediocrity?

It seems that Apple's roadmap until the near future is already set.

According to Japanese carrier Softbank president Masayoshi Son, Steve's vision will be seen not only in the recently launched iPhone 4S but in the next generation of iPhone as well - iPhone 5.

In a correspondence with Reuters, Son said, "even after [Jobs'] death the work that he spearheaded will come out to the world".

Jobs will play one of the key roles in the production of other revolutionary Apple products. The introduction of the new iPhone 4S was met with criticisms as Apple did not live with the expectations of many people who were hoping for the mythical iPhone 5.

The best example of Apple's strong future product roadmap is Mac's Power PC to Intel transition at WWDC '05.

"Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life, for the past five years. Every release of Mac OS X has been compiled for both Power PC and Intel. This has been going on for the last five years," Steve Jobs said.

So most probably the iPhone that succeeds iPhone 4S would have Steve Jobs' personal touches, and so would a number of other future Apple products.

It seems that Steve Jobs put everything in order before he died.
