2, the latest version of its tablet computer, in San Francisco.
Despite having taken a leave of absence due to ill health, Jobs presented the new device to a packed conference centre, saying, "We've been working on this product for a while now and I just didn't want to miss today."
The second generation of the iPad which goes on sale in the UK in March 25 and in the US on March 11, has two cameras - one on the back and one on the front of the device - both of which take photos and shoot video.
The new device comes preloaded with a new app called photo booth, which allows people to take distorted photos of themselves and share them with friends. And users will also be able to use the iPad 2 to video call friends who also have either an iPad 2, an iPhone 4 or the latest iPod touch, using Apple Facetime.
The iPad 2 is one third thinner than the first device and is slightly - 0.2lbs - lighter. It will also be available in white for the first time, as well as the standard black.
Apple has kept the pricing the same, with cheapest model available from $499.
