There have been many biographies about Steve Jobs, but none of them have been authorized until now. ABC News is reporting that Steve Jobs has given his blessing to Walter Isaacson to write his official biography, which will be released in 2012.

Jobs has been a very private person his whole, despite being in the very highly chronicled position as the CEO and founder of Apple. Jobs has not given anybody official permission to write his biography until Isaacson was given the blessing of writing the biography which will be called iSteve: The Book of Jobs.

An official statement was released by the publisher Simon and Schuster today.

Simon & Schuster announced Sunday that Walter Isaacson’s “iSteve: The Book of Jobs” will be published in early 2012. Isaacson has been working on the long-rumored biography since 2009 and has interviewed Jobs, members of his family, colleagues at Apple and competitors.

The book will undoubtedly be a hit for many Apple Fan Boys and anybody else interested in the life of one of the most successful business men of our generation. The book will most likely give us insight inside both Apple and Jobs’ life that has not been seen before and will stir interest in many people.

Will you be picking up a copy of this book when it is released in 2012?
