Steve Jobs returns, introduces new iPods
The rumored Beatles songs were a no-show, but Steve Jobs -- Apple's own rock star -- is back. Jobs, Apple's CEO, delivered the keynote address at the company's invitation-only event in San Francisco, California, on Wednesday, making his first appearance at an Apple event in nearly a year.
He received a standing ovation that lasted 45 seconds. Jobs last appeared at an Apple event on October 14, 2008, when he unveiled a new lineup of Macintosh computers including the ultra-thin MacBook Air. He was on a sabbatical for the first six months of 2009 because of health-related issues, which included a liver transplant.
"I'd like to thank everyone in the Apple community for the heartfelt support," Jobs said in a soft voice. "I'm vertical, back at Apple and loving every day of it."
