<p>Apple boss Steve Jobs has returned from indefinite sick leave to declare 2011 &#8220;the year of the iPad2&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Jobs is on medical leave from the company and there was much speculation over whether he would take centre stage at the highly-anticipated launch of the new tablet.</p>
<p>Describing the iPad2 design as &#8220;completely new&#8221;, Mr Jobs made a 30-minute presentation at the YBCA Theatre in San Francisco, which was broadcast live via video link in London.</p>
<p>Calling the new device &#8220;beautiful&#8221;, he said: &#8220;We think 2011 is clearly going to be the year of iPad2. It is going to be everywhere in the month of March.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite rumours that the iPad2 may come in a smaller size, the new tablet will keep its original dimensions. It does, however, boast a sleeker and slimmer design than its predecessor, measuring 33% less in thickness.</p>
<p>Mr Jobs said: &#8220;One of the most startling things about the iPad2 is it is dramatically thinner. It feels totally different.&#8221;</p>
<p>It will also be lighter, weighing in at 1.3lb, 0.2lb lighter than the iPad1. &#8220;You can just pick this thing up, it almost floats,&#8221; Mr Jobs said.</p>
<p>The tablet will be available in both black and white rather than its previous single-colour design. The iPad2 will also be faster than its predecessor, with a new dual processor making it twice as quick and nine times faster in its graphics performance.</p>
<p>Mr Jobs put rumours of a price increase to rest, revealing that the tablet can be purchased in the US for the same price as the iPad1. &#8220;We are going to keep the same exact prices as the current iPad but you get a dramatically improved product,&#8221; Mr Jobs said.</p>
<p>Among other new accessories, the sleek redesign of the iPad cover raised eyebrows. With a magnetic grasp attaching to the tablet, the cover provides a book-like front to the iPad and comes in 10 colours.</p>
