How to get photos on iPad

Just got the iPad.

I don't have a Mac computer.

Does that mean there is no way to get photos on this thing?

I find it hard to believe that I can only put photos on here with a Mac.

That would really be a bummer.

Got any thoughts? Thanks!

StudioBeaz, I use two methods. iPhoto and Dropbox. In iPhoto, I create Albums and sync photos via iTunes. In Dropbox, I drag photos to it from the Mac - open the app on the iPad and tap Save. A 'Saved Photos' folder is created.

Dropbox is your solution (I take it you have a PC). It's free (up to 2G), fast and cross-platform. It runs on Windows and Linux too.

Install the app on your PC and iPad. Drag photos to the app on your PC and they appear on your iPad, when you launch the app. Tap Save.
