Just for future clarification.

Unless you have jailbroken your iPad, there isn't really an easy way to upload your file to those sites like imageshack, etc.

iPad's OS isn't supposed to be run like a computer. You definitely should have zero problems uploading it from OSX(a real Mac) though.

Wrong! As long as you have a photobucket account you can download the free photobucket app and upload/download on your ipad. I do it everyday

No problems with condensation ....and I just use black krylon fusion spray paint and it looks perfect! It's been awhile now since I've had them done and still no problems.
