Can you just copy and or upload your photos to iPhoto (if you have it); sync via iTunes?
 
Can't you get the phone to send the pics to the mobile me cloud then get the ipad to pull it down automatically?
 
Photo Transfer App

Hello,
I'm the developer of 'Photo Transfer App'. I just wanted to let you know that Photo Transfer is now available as a universal app for iPhone and iPad. We solved the issue of transferring photos from computer to iPad. You can now transfer photos wirelessly from iPhone to iPad and from computer to iPad in 1 application.

Here are couple of videos to show how the app works:

I hope you find the app useful. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Cheers!
 
Wow I never thought about emailing ia pic to myself!! I've always been posting to Facebook then saving it
 
Okay, what we have here is a pretty severe case of Thread Necromancy. Note that the post immediately preceding today's posts is from over FIVE YEARS AGO.

The first post today is an app developer recommending an app as the best for this task. It's probably HIS app, of course. And he bungled the URL, it's got http in it twice and an embedded space. Oh, and it points to the Google Play Store. Meaning it's an Android app. I can absolutely guarantee you that an Android app is definitely not the best way to move pictures between two iOS devices.

The last poster pretty much nailed it, by the way. If both devices are using iCloud in the same way you should be able to just grab photos from the combined "My Photostream". If you're using the latest and greatest approach, where all your photos live in iCloud, then they'll be in the "All photos" album on both devices already. If both devices are using iCloud but not in quite the same way (I'd up-converted one but not the other, for a while, before installing 10.10.3 on my Mac), just use the "Shared" tab in the Photos app, set up a shared album (I called mine "Xfer"), don't actually share it with anyone else, don't make it visible on the web (thus, you're the only one who can get to it), and then you can share pictures to it from one device and save them off on the other..

And if iCloud is not working, or you avoid it for, I don't know, religious reasons or some such, use Dropbox - use the Dropbos sharing extension on one device, from Photos, to share/save into Dropbox, then use the Dropbox app on the other device to save the pictures into your camera roll.

Or, if AirDrop is working quickly and reliably for you, you can use that, too :)

or google drive, and it seems to be the most reliable cloud service for multiplatform environments. i dont avoid icloud, but i cannot get it to work in my laptop (win8.1, photos dont sync).
 
Don't even act like apple shouldn't have at least added a USB port for just this kind of thing. I thought he said emailing ruins the quality, I don't read every post cause they all say the same thing more or less.

Well, the time taken to plug USB, copy, paste, remove USB, plug USB, locate, copy and paste is time consuming, email it at full res. I suggest to read all emails if you want to understand the thread and perhaps learn something
