Apple’s Steve Jobs took the stage immediately today as part of the iPad 2 event with 15 million sold and 90% market share. That’s more than every tablet PC ever sold.

Jobs said it “flummoxed” competitors. While some made fun of Jobs calling iPad magical, and others complained about the price, Jobs said to “ask our competitors now”. (Referring to the difficulty in matching iPad’s price point.)

Jobs showed off 65,000 apps for iPad and 100 — and they were being generous, he says — for Android 3.0 Honeycomb and then went into a video of Apple execs, users, educators, professionals, and others proclaiming 2010 the year of the iPad.

As a final shot, Jobs asked if 2011 would be the year of the copycats. With more Honeycomb tablets, HP’s TouchPad, and RIM’s Playbook all on their way it will be interesting to see how Apple’s iPad 2 holds up in 2011.

Reports of Steve’s death have been greatly exaggerated… and in this particular case, a report of Steve Jobs having a heart attack. Can we leave this guy alone people? And is his health any of your business anyways? This time the heart attack rumor started over at a CNN website, iReport.com. It remained on CNN’s website for about 30 minutes before being pulled.

CNN has since made the following statement:

iReport.com is an entirely user-generated site where the content is determined by the community. Content that does not comply with Community Guidelines will be removed. After the content in question was uploaded to iReport.com, the community brought it to our attention. Based on our Terms of Use that govern user behavior on iReport.com, the fraudulent content was removed from the site and the user’s account was disabled.

Of course this lie led to a steep drop in Apple stock, a drop of 5.4% to be exact after CNN reported the lie. Since it was proven not to be fact, Apple’s stock rose $3.82 to $103.92 at 11:32 a.m. New York time on the Nasdaq Stock Market after earlier falling to $94.65.

So again, can we all leave Steve be? He is a human being with a family just like the rest of us. Mostly.
