Most of us have been taking it as a matter read that Apple CEO Steve Jobs would not be attending Wednesday’s iPad 2 event: he’s on a medical leave of absence, and Tim Cook has proven to be a reliable — if unexciting — stand-in for Jobs in the past.
Italian Apple site SetteB it defying conventional wisdom with a new report, though: they claim that Jobs will at least attend tomorrow’s iPad 2 event at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, and depending on how he’s feeling, might even host.
You know what, Steve? As much as we don’t really feel like it’s an Apple event if you aren’t prancing onstage like some sort of crazed conductor to a music only you can hear, it’s seriously okay. You can just sit in the audience for a change. You’ve earned a bit of a rest, and the iPad 2 is going to be awesome even if you’re not the one to physically deliver it in your hands to the rest of the world.

I think this text is misplaced…
Hmm this doesn’t appear to be the right text…
You have another article for the Jobs iPad 2 hosting:
“We’ve seen transparent iPhone 4s before.”
Come on guys.
The actual article will go something like this
A friend of a friend of Steve Jobs gardener’s dog groomer has heard that Steve Jobs might present the Ipad announcement tomorrow. He heard it from a guy who was looking through the window of an Apple store and is sure he lip read Steve Jobs name being mentioned.
Another scoop
Thanks for updating the contents of the article ;)
We’re having server issues this morning, guys. Thanks for the heads up.
Wow, you need to check your articles for typos!
Even with the article updated with the right text, it has typos and errors, and it’s little more than a rumor based on smoke. Oh, wait! It’s an article by John Brownlee. I forgot he has no standards.
I don’t see Jobs being on site for the announcement. Maybe a FaceTime demo with Steve at home using iPad 2.
“don’t really feel like it’s an Apple event if you aren’t prancing onstage like some sort of crazed conductor to a music only you can hear…”
prancing onstage like some sort of crazed conductor??? Steve Jobs has never done anything like that. You are confused…
You’re thinking of that fat stinking gasbag MONKEYBOY DANCER from MICROSOFT, CEO Steve BALLMER.
