Apple boss 'had liver transplant'

Apple boss Steve Jobs received a liver transplant about two months ago
and is expected to return to work later this month, a US newspaper has
reported.

The Wall Street Journal said the Apple chief executive would be
returning to his job on schedule, but may initially work part-time.

Neither Mr Jobs nor a company spokeswoman confirmed the report, the
newspaper said.

Mr Jobs ceased his normal management role more than five months ago.

In January, he announced that he was being treated for a "hormone
imbalance", and had been losing weight throughout 2008.

Mr Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976. He left in 1985, before returning in
1997 and becoming full-time chief executive in 2000.

He is seen to have played a crucial role in Apple's growth.

The company's share price has recently risen and fallen in step with
rumours or news about his health.

He has already survived a pancreatic cancer that was diagnosed in 2004.
