How much space do photos take up on the iPad?

Once they get optimized I mean. On my iPhone 3GS, I have almost 10,000 photos and they take up 4 gigs of space. So roughly 400k each.
What would the same number of pictures optimize to on an iPad? Anyone know? I'm guessing larger, but I want to know for sure.
I'm trying to decide if I need to pay for more storage or not, because I want to store a crapload of pictures on my iPad.

That's in interesting question, and I don't know the answer. (It would be easy to figure it out for some...put some photos on the iPhone and the iPad and use on the utility apps that can get into the iDevice file system to compare sizes).
But to speculate, I'd guess the photos are the same size since the iPhone 4 screen resolution is pretty close to iPad screen resolution.
My buying recommendation: Because this is a concern for you, just get the 64GB iPad, unless $100 is going to break your bank. I have a 64GB iPad and it's only about half full. But I think of that empty space as potential. And especially with the new iPad's cameras, you could fill that space pretty quickly with pictures and video that you shoot yourself and edit in iMovie, or with music that you create or record.

I'm pretty good at managing my stuff, so I was trying to decide between 16 and 32. Especially now that 4.3 will stream iTunes content.
Can someone just pull up the photo tab when they sync and post the number of pictures and amount of space? I can do the math.
Thanks. I'll write an iPad related haiku as a reward.

So no one wants a haiku, huh?
Your loss.
