(Newser) – Apple CEO Steve Jobs won’t deliver the keynote speech at an event many thought would mark his return from a health-related leave of absence, the Telegraph reports. An Apple VP will speak in Jobs’ usual spot at the Worldwide Developers Conference on June 8. Jobs, on medical leave, could still appear at the event, at which Apple is expected to launch its iPhone 3.0 update.

Jobs—a "master of bare-knuckled business strategies from the old school"—wasn't known as an inventor the way Edison was, and didn't develop a new manufacturing model the way Ford did. But he revolutionized consumer electronics design, upended old business models for entertainment and information, and showed that "high manufacturing standards don't cost money, but make money," Hiltzik writes in the Los Angeles Times .

Even if iPad sales didn't meet expectations

(AP) - Apple today reported another exceptional quarter, nearly doubling its net income and far exceeding analyst estimates on the strength of the seemingly unstoppable iPhone. However, sales of Apple's big new product, the iPad tablet computer, came in below expectations.
