According to newspaper The Times, before he passed away earlier this week Jobs left a four-year plan laying the groundwork for the iPad, iPod and for the next four years.

Numerous rumours surround what exactly Apple are working on including the iCloud which Jobs is believed to have been working on extensively. Also included are in the rumours are the next generation of iPhone expected by 2013 and a successor to the Apple TV range of products which could possibly be a touch-enabled itself.
