Target has confirmed today that it will begin selling the upcoming Apple iPad 2 on launch day, March 11th, at 5pm.
Says the large retailer (via PCM):
We will be offering all 18 versions and price it as all other retailers have, starting at $499.
Apple sells three Wi-Fi only models, three AT&T 3G models and three Verizon 3G models (16/32/64GB for each). Because the iPad 2 is available in black or white, there are a total of 18 different versions available.
The tablets will only be available in-store, not via Target’s online store.
Furthermore, you can trade-in your original iPad for store credit starting on the 13th.
The tablet is going on sale through AT&T, Verizon, Apple and Best Buy on launch day, as well.

Lenovo has said today it will launch its LePad Android tablet in the U.S. next year, looking to compete in the ever-growing market for fast, portable, touchscreen gadgets running mobile operating systems.
CEO Yan Yuanqing confirmed the device which was first spoken about over the summer.
The American tablet market has grown exponentially since Apple launched the iPad in April. Dell, HP, RIMM, Samsung, Toshiba and LG have all released or promised to release tablets within the next quarter.
Lenovo did not put a price on the tablet just yet but did note it will launch in China early next year, as well.
The company is also heavily investing in a “program to support developers of mobile Internet applications and services as the firm looks to expand its application download store, which will work with the LePad,” says the WSJ.
