According to several sources close to the situation, Apple CEO Steve Jobs–who is on a health-related leave from the company–is definitely considering an appearance at its big iPad 2 event tomorrow.

HTC, a company which once built devices for other brands, is today a powerful brand itself. And CEO Peter Chou is largely responsible for that.

Research in Motion’s BlackBerry is the leading smartphone brand in the United States thanks to its vast core demographic of enterprise power users.
