Apple chief Steve Jobs unveiled the iPad 2 on Wednesday, little more than a year after announcing its wildly popular tablet.
The company announced the second generation iPad at a press event at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts — the same place it unveiled the first.
Jobs, who is curently on medical leave from Apple, appeared on stage and received a standing ovation.
“We’ve been working on this product for a while and I just didn’t want to miss today,” Jobs said.
First, Jobs announced that Random House will add 17,000 books to the iBookstore. With Random House on board, Apple finally has the six major book publishers among the 2,500 on its roster.
