Ailing Apple boss Steve Jobs, 56, who has been on long-term medical leave from his position as chief executive of the technology giant, appeared on stage in San Fransisco to the surprise of everyone - and received a standing ovation - as Apple launched the iPad2. His company sold more than 15 million iPads last year and the latest version of the gadget has been eagerly anticipated. Jobs said: We think 2011 is clearly going to be the year of iPad2. It is going to be everywhere in the month of March. It features two cameras to aid online messaging, has faster graphics and is a third thinner than the old model. Daily Star
