Added Second edit. displayed all calculations of Pic
Jun 22, 2011 at 7:43 comment added Georges Elencwajg Dear Dmitry, the (analytic !) isomorphism is proved by pulling back the projective $\mathbb P^1$ bundle $L\to E$ to the analytic covering space $\mathbb C \to E$ where it becomes trivial.Then you see that the pull back of $U$ is just $\mathbb C \times \mathbb C$ and $U$ is the quotient of that $\mathbb C \times \mathbb C$ by a suitable action of $\mathbb Z \times \mathbb Z$. The quotient is $\mathbb G_m \times \mathbb G_m$ and this is why $U$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb G_m \times \mathbb G_m$

Jun 21, 2011 at 20:20 comment added Georges Elencwajg Dear Torsten, yes the indefinite article is ambiguous : here it doesn't mean "any" but "a certain bundle that I'm not describing in detail". As I wrote, details are to be found by following the link given, but ultimately I am responsible for any lack of clarity in my answer: so I both apologize and thank you for your constructive comment.

Jun 21, 2011 at 20:03 comment added Torsten Ekedahl The indefinite article in "a $\mathbb P^1$-bundle" is a little bit ambiguous as you can not just take any $\mathbb P^1$-bundle with any section, you have to choose them so that the complement is a non-trivial $\mathbb A^1$-bundle as in ulrich's answer (see my comment to it to get an explicit isomorphism).
Jun 21, 2011 at 19:58 comment added Dima Sustretov Sorry, what's the isomorphism between $U$ and $\mathbb{G}_m \times \mathbb{G}_m$?
