Photos app always quitting

Question

Hello all,
I just received (3 days ago) my brand new iPad. The first thing I did was charging it for a good 12 hours (or even more). Then it was time to start using the apparatus. First thing were my pictures. It took several hours for my MBP (with the iPad connected and supposedly synchronizing, therefore unusable) to adapt the pictures to Photos (iPad's iPhoto) and an other 45 minutes to synchronize the 33600 picture or so. So far so good. Here comes the problem: each time I launch Photos in my iPad a screen would appear saying that it is updating the pictures, and then just quits (comes back to the initial iPad screen, as if I pressed the menu button).
What I did before writing this post:
1. Restore the iPad entirely;
2. Turn off completely the iPad (holding the on/off button until the "Slide to power off" appears and slide;
3. Turn the iPad back on again and try Photos...
To no avail.
Any additional suggestion(s) most welcome.
Thank you for your attention and possible help.
Best regards from the sunny and a bit chilly Jura mountains in Switzerland.

Hello again,
Just to give a quick follow-up on the above mentioned issue. Unfortunately, it is still going on. Despite the new version of iOS 3.2.2 (which seemed to "only" resolve a security issue).
This is what I noticed so far:
· Only 26'518 pictures will fit (I still 38.4 GB free). Adding another image one renders the Photos application useless. When entering Photos, a screen appears saying "updating pictures", the little sun spins (the equivalent of the beach ball on Mac OS X) and then it goes back to menu (where the application icons are);
· When I'm scrolling rapidly in Events view, when reaching approximately the 2/3 of the length, the Photos app just quits and back to square one;
· It also happens in the "Photos" view, but less frequently;
· On the synchronization side, at the end of a sync, I have a window that appears saying that there are two movies that can not be played in the iPad, therefore they have not been transferred (for the moment I want to leave that warning so once I will try to transform those movies in a compatible format).
· Finally, after synchronizing, the iPad becomes very slow and, after a while (10-15 seconds perhaps) it just reboots. Sometimes the reboot is quick, but often it takes quite some time. One can see the Apple logo, with the little sun thingy turning on top of it and it beeps like if the iPad went mad.
Obviously, I tried to restore the iPad from iTunes, but except from taking hours to do so (transferring all the pictures), it does not change anything. I also tried to switch off and on again by holding the power button for a while and slide), etc.
My guess (but this is just a hunch) the pictures transformation in order to fit in the iPad went wrong somewhere. I would like iTunes to start all over again, but I don't know where to indicate it. I saw folders named "iPod Photo Cache" in both ~/Pictures and +~/Pictures/iPhoto Library+ folders. Should I erase them? Only one? Is there something in iTunes to do that again?
Any help welcome.
Best regards,
Peter
P.S.: I upgraded to iTunes 10 and that did not change anything either.
