* Lord Sugar remembered his Amstrad computer company competing with Mr Jobs in the 1980s.
He wrote on Twitter: "Gutted: Steve Jobs died. We started our computer biz at same time and were competitors thru 80's. Great visionary. Sadly missed RIP."

* Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page: "Steve, thank you for being a mentor and a friend. Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world. I will miss you."

* Tim Cook who took over from Mr Jobs as Apple chief executive said the company had "lost a visionary and creative genius".
In an email circulated to staff he said: "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
"No words can adequately express our sadness at Steve's death or our gratitude for the opportunity to work with him. We will honour his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much."

* "Steve Jobs was a great visionary and a respected competitor," said Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, co-CEOs of Blackberry-maker Research in Motion.

* "Today the world lost a visionary leader, the technology industry lost an iconic legend and I lost a friend and fellow founder," said Dell Inc. founder and CEO Michael Dell.

* The Nokia Corporation, CEO, Stephen Elop said in regards to Jobs:
"Steve's passion for simplicity and elegance leaves a legacy that will endure." He said the thoughts of all at the Finland-based cellphone maker are with Job's friends and family.

* The Walt Disney Company's CEO Bob Iger said in regards to Jobs:
Steve Jobs was a great friend as well as a trusted advisor. His legacy will extend far beyond the products he created or the businesses he built. It will be the millions of people he inspired, the lives he changed, and the culture he defined. Steve was such an "original," with a thoroughly creative, imaginative mind that defined an era. Despite all he accomplished, it feels like he was just getting started. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Laurene and his children during this difficult time.

* New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said: "Tonight, America lost a genius who will be remembered with Edison and Einstein, and whose ideas will shape the world for generations to come."

* American director Steven Spielberg said: "Steve Jobs was the greatest inventor since Thomas Edison. He put the world at our fingertips."
