Steve Jobs to Appear at Tomorrow's Media Event? [Updated]

Yes, all odds are against us, yet we have reassuring information.
We want to tip the balance and we believe that the new iPad will debut in the hands of Steve Jobs.
Update: All Things Digital reports that Jobs is "definitely considering" making an appearance at the event tomorrow, most likely in a brief appearance on stage with other executives to show off the new iPad. His appearance has not, however, been confirmed.
According to several sources close to the situation, Apple CEO Steve Jobs - who is on a health-related leave from the company - is definitely considering an appearance at its big iPad 2 event tomorrow.
But the possibility - which would be a big sensation at the San Francisco gathering - is also just as definitely not confirmed as yet, stressed sources.
If he did appear, sources said Jobs would at least make a brief appearance onstage, along with other top company execs in showing off Apple's latest version of it hugely popular tablet.

(View all)Perhaps we will see an iPad FaceTime call from Tim Cook to Steve Jobs.
How cool would that be.

It depends on what treatment he is having for his illness!! A CT scan is quite a warming experience!

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.
I think the validity of those pictures especially the video are still in question.
How cool would that be.
It would be great to see him call a healthy(er) looking Steve! :)
