It’s official: Apple has just started sending out invitations to the press for a media event to unveil the much awaited iPad 2. The event will be held at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.


Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who recently took a medical leave of absence from his company is unlikely to be present at the event. In his absence, either Phil Schiller or Tim Cook will be on stage for the keynote.
