Gallery: Steve Jobs returns for iPad 2.

Despite being on medical leave from his position as CEO of Apple Corp., Steve Jobs couldn't resist showing off his company's latest prize, the iPad 2. Although rumors indicated that he might show up, there was no official word until he walked on stage.

Jobs has suffered from a form of pancreatic cancer and due to nutritional issues, his weight has suffered, too.

Here's a video of Jobs unveiling the iPad 2.

Since he announced his leave in mid-January, Jobs has only appeared in public once, at a February 17 dinner with President Obama for San Francisco area tech leaders. The only photo that shows him is from this toast - he's sitting to the left of the president with his back turned.

Jobs took the opportunity to begin his presentation by showing off Apple's killer products of the last decade: the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.

It's an iPad 2 - no surprise here.
