He was an entrepreneur who transcended business to become a household name.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs’ death was mourned by his fellow business leaders as well as politicians, celebrities and everyday people whose lives were fundamentally improved by his products.

Maggie Hindie, 36, who was outside the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue last night, said Jobs’ legacy -- which includes his brave battle against pancreatic cancer -- stretches beyond his products.

“Steve Jobs, no matter what, kept fighting the fight. He is an inspiration for all of us to go for our ideas,” she said.

Josh Abella, 34, a lawyer from Manhattan, said he couldn’t imagine the world without Jobs’ imprint.

“He built the future,” Abella said. “We are living in a world he created.”

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, whose company was often perceived as Apple’s chief rival, offered his condolences to Jobs’ family and friends.
“We’ve lost a unique tech pioneer and auteur who knew how to make amazingly great products,” Allen said.

“Steve fought a long battle against tough odds in a very brave way. He kept doing amazing things in the face of all that adversity.”

Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO of News Corp., which owns The Post, said, “We lost one of the most influential thinkers, creators and entrepreneurs of all time. Steve Jobs was simply the greatest CEO of his generation.

“While I am deeply saddened by his passing, I’m reminded of the stunning impact he had in revolutionizing the way people consume media and entertainment.

“My heart goes out to his family and to everyone who had the opportunity to work beside him in bringing his many visions to life,” Murdoch said.
Jobs’ death also touched the next generation of tech giants he helped inspire.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said that Jobs’ innovations helped spur his social-networking site:

“Thanks for showing that what you build can change the world.”
“Steve Jobs will be remembered in the same vein as Einstein, Ford and John Lennon,” Become.com CEO Michael Yang Tweeted.
