Dancing Queen Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said that he has given Steve Jobs a tinkle and he sounds healthy, a month before his scheduled return from a medical leave of absence.

Woz took time out from his Dancing practice to tell the Wall Street Journal a that Jobs sounds "healthy, energetic" and "doesn't sound like he's sick." Wozniak acknowledged, however, that he has never directly asked the 54-year-old Jobs how he was.

Amid rumours that Jobs had suffered a relapse of his pancreatic cancer, Jobs took six months off to have what he called treatment to balance his hormones. Apple has been notoriously secretive about Jobs's health since he underwent an operation in 2004 for pancreatic cancer.

If Woz is right, and he is no doctor, Jobs could be back behind his desk controlling Apple with his unusual iron fist in a few weeks.
