sorry, don't know anything about iPads.
You can save to an external place like Photobucket.
Photobucket is free, and even has resizing features to use.
Then you can link I think to a url to get the avatar here.
You could then use option 1, to copy from Photobucket.
That way you would not have a saved file on the iPad.
Option 2 in avatar edit is to copy from your computer.
