Wouldn't it be cool if he ran on stage, looking all healthy and revitalized, and said, "...two words bitches....stem cells...now check out my new iPad...!"
I think you've got that right. Spread some FUD; try to bottle up sales of iPad 2.I'm also not totally buying this whole "iPad 1.5" thing. Sounds like a convenient rumour to be spread by the hundreds of Android manufacturers who's tablets are a little behind the game.
I think what people are trying to get at now is, is his medical leave now over?
I bet Steve Jobs will appear via FaceTime on the iPad. They will get an unexpected call.
Perhaps we will see an iPad FaceTime call from Tim Cook to Steve Jobs.
Would you please provide links to these outlets who are claiming Jobs is frail?unless he's frail, like most outlets are claiming. It will actually bring confidence levels down if people see him in an ailing state. Not good for stockholders really. If he's not looking/feeling good, they should not allow him to come on stage. Perception is everything with Apple.
Does anyone know if he attended the Academy Awards?
Given the recent photos of Jobs, I'd say he would likely do more harm to Apple's image by being present than by skipping it and letting Tim Cook handle the launch.
It would be freakin' awesome if he gave the keynote but I don't think this will be the case. I do believe that the Facetime chat with Tim Cook would be the most realistic option since the iPad 2 is rumored to have a camera for Facetime and what a great way to demo it live!

I really hope this is true!
If he (Jobs) is going to make an appearance, they should let whomever run the presentation and when it comes time to debut the new iPad, they should make a comment like "can we get someone to bring it out here?" and let Jobs bring it out...
The crowd would go absolutely nuts and it wouldn't be labor intensive for Jobs.
