Will Jobs make an appearance at the iPad2 launch?

steve jobsIt has still not been confirmed if Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs will host today’s event to launch the iPad2.

Citing several sources yesterday, the Wall Street Journal, said Jobs, who is on a health-related leave, was definitely considering attending the event. Sources revealed that if Jobs did appear he “would make at least a brief appearance on stage along with other top company execs in showing off Apple’s latest version of its hugely popular tablet.”

Jobs has made public appearances in recent weeks at Apple’s Cupertino campus and in Silicon Valley restaurants, including a high-profile dinner with President Barack Obama.
