Can't delete certain photos from my iPad!

Question

So this is the situation;
I was on vacation on a friend's house in Colombia and sync'd my iPad to his PC and sync'd a folder with 400 family photos.
When I got back home (Florida) I realized I wanted to delete 2 specific photos.
Obviously the original folder with the photos is in another PC in another country, so I can't delete thos 2 photos on the PC and re-sync the iPad.
... How. Do. I. Do. This?
And is Apple EVER going to fix this awful problem?!

You can't delete photos synced from a computer directly on the iPad, only by removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. As you don't have access to that computer, then you could use one of the photo transfer apps from the App Store (e.g. Simple Transfer , which also also has a free 'lite' version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) to copy them onto your computer, delete the ones you don't want from your computer, and then sync that folder onto your iPad.
Note that only the contents of the most recent photo sync will remain on your iPad, so if there are any other (synced) photo folders/albums that you have on your iPad that you want to still be on there after re-syncing, then you will need to include them in the sync.
As to it being an 'awful problem', the assumption is that if you sync photos from a computer then you should know what you are syncing and not be copying over photos that you don't want - syncing from a computer that you don't own/have continues access to is probably not that regular an occurrence.
