 "SAN FRANCISCO — Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, interrupted his medical leave to introduce the company’s much-anticipated new iPad, a thinner, faster and lighter version of its popular tablet computer that will sell at the same price as the original.

Mr. Jobs, whose appearance on stage in an auditorium here was greeted by a standing ovation, alluded to his leave but did not say whether he was planning to return to the company.

“We’ve been working on this product for a while and I didn’t want to miss today,” he said."
