How can I remotely get photos to an iPad?

My family is buying an iPad for my 85 year-old grandmother and we'd like to be able to get pictures of her great grandchildren to her remotely without having to bother her with emailing, saving attachments from email to her photo app, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Chris ~ You could set up a free blog here:

...so that family members can simply email photos to that blog. Then, on the iPad, for fast & easy access to that Posterous blog, set up a Web Clip to the blog page in the Home Screen or Dock — see the +Web Clips+ section on p.41 here:

I have two accounts on my iPad for FaceBook. I use Safari for my account and I uses the iPhone app for my friend Joan's account. (I do it this way so I can stay logged in to both accounts.) Joan is in her late 70's. She knows next to nothing about how to run a computer except on how to start it and clicking on an URL link to her FaceBook account. I upload her photos and update parts of her Facebook account for her. Doing so, she and her family can view photos and content on her account. If she had an iPad in place of her computer I'm sure my life would be even easier.......... (She has tried and tried to learn how to send email. This will never happen.)

I want to do the same thing for my 81 year old dad. I'm just thinking out loud here, but couldn't photostream and iCloud work here. If you set up an iCloud account for grandmother and then set up the iCloud account on your Mac or PC. Then copy pictures into the iCloud folder on your Mac/PC and wouldn't/shouldn't they automatically populate onto the iPad's photo gallery? This SHOULD work. If I get a chance to test it I'll post back here.
