Steve Jobs' (AAPL) Biography to be Released in 2012

If it is done right, it will be a fantastic read, as Apple's (AAPL) Steve Jobs has reportedly finally given in to allow a biography to be done about him, which will be released in 2012.

Jobs will take part in the book, which will be named "iSteve: The Book of Jobs." It will be authored by Walter Isaacson and distributed by Simon & Schuster.

Jonathan Karp, publisher of Simon & Schuster, said, "This is the perfect match of subject and author, and it is certain to be a landmark book about one of the world's greatest innovators. Just as he did with Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, Walter Isaacson is telling a unique story of revolutionary genius."

Apple was trading at $331.28, falling $3.78, or 1.13 percent, as of 1:24 PM EDT.
