Become a MacRumors Supporter for $50/year with no ads, ability to filter front page stories, and private forums.
You can delete pictures from your album, open your album and hit the arrow on the top right corner....you can select multiple pictures to email or be deleted.

That only works on the "camera roll" -- pictures you've saved to the iPad from Safari, email attachments, etc. Hitting the arrow in an album you've synced with iTunes only gives you the options to email or copy.
