Apple, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless have independently fired off press releases letting us know exactly how and when we can acquire yourself an iPad 2 tomorrow, March 11th. Starting at 5PM local time, interested parties can head to an Apple, AT&T, or Verizon Wireless retail store to purchase the 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB tablet in white or black. Verizon will be offering four data plans for the iPad 2:

• 1GB per month – $20
• 3GB per month – $35
• 5GB per month – $50
• 10GB per month – $80

While AT&T will be offering just two in both the pre-paid and post-paid formats:

• Monthly statements:  $14.99 for 250 MB or $25 for 2GB.  Customers who exceed their monthly data allotment will be billed $14.99 for another 250MB on the $14.99 plan or $10 per 1 GB of overage on the 2 GB plan [AT&T is offering consumers who choose monthly statement billing one free month of service].

All models of the iPad 2 — Wi-Fi and 3G — will also be available at Apple retail stores, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target stores nationwide. AT&T and Verizon stores will only carry GSM and CDMA iPads respectively. If you’re not inclined to hit up a retail outlet, but are still interested in the tablet, AT&T and Apple will begin selling the iPad 2 online at 1:00AM Pacific Time (4:00AM ET) on the 11th.
