Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Working with iPhone But Not iPad

Question

I recently got an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed".  Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all.  I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here?  Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
