Ipad mini, ipad 4, or iPhone 5 for gaming?

Hi, I love gaming on ios (no, not Angry birds, hardcore stuff like Modern combat and Real Racing), and my ipod 4 is getting long in the tooth, so I'm going to upgrade, but, I have a problem: I need a powerful ios device that will have great performance and have a good screen to enjoy my games, but be nice to hold and be somewhat light and portable. There are three options here: iPhone 5, iPad Mini, and iPad 4. Pros and cons:
iPad Mini:
Good: portability, screen size.
Bad:power
IPad 4:
Good: Power, screen sharpness
Bad:big, heavy, not very.. Nice design
iPhone 5:
Good:power, portability.
Bad:battery life (big consideration), a bit small of a screen to immerse me in my games.
I would appreciate help, thank you!

For your gaming, the iPad 4 would be superior. Maybe Apple will improve the next iPad mini.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

Not staff or owner by a long shot.
I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
Bad cable
bad outlet
bad brick
rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

If I was going to buy a Refurbished iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi Cellular for AT

if I was going to buy a Refurbished iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular for AT&T 32GB from Apple store can I get a Apple SIM to change it to Verizon.

Go buy yourself a iPhone 5. Sync your iPhone 3GS to iTunes on you computer so you have a back up ready to put on the iPhone 5. If you want you can update your iPhone 3GS with iTunes on your computer, but this is not necessary.

I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
However, you may be able to get some photos by:
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:

IPad Mini wifi only works properly for 30 seconds!

Anyone have the same issue?
iPad mini's wifi internet connection only works breifly on my network
Everytime I connect my iPad mini to my wifi, Internet on the iPad Mini works PERFECTLY but only for around 30 seconds.
Next time i connect my iPad mini to wifi, same thing happens
Internet on the iPad Mini then becomes very slow to a point where it will not load webpages, web content for apps etc
I have laptops, an iPad 1, iPhone 4, and an xbox that connect to the same network no problem at all
iPad mini works perfectly on other people's wifi network however
Already went to Apple geniuses, went to Apple hotline, and Apple online for help. They took me through all the troubleshooting steps but no answers that help
(upgraded firmware, reboot and restored both iPad and Router, messed with router settings etc)
only trouble-shooting step that wasn't taken was the change router settings 2.4Ghz to 5 Ghz because it didn't seem possible on my router
Help!

If the WiFi on your iPad works well on other networks the problem lies in your WiFi router or in its configuration. If there is no router firmware which solves this problem I'd simply replace the router.
Strange that among all the detail in your post you didn't mention the make, model or version of the WiFi router that you are using.

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for Ibooks bookmarks?

Why does my IPad not sync with my IPhone for IBooks bookmarks? Both Pad and Phone have sync turned on.

I must apologize as I misread your post. I though that you were talking about Safari bookmarks but you post does clearly state iBooks bookmarks.
You may want to just try restarting both devices and see if that helps. One other thing that you could try is quit iBooks on both devices and then launch it again and see if the bookmarks are synced when you relaunch.

The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.

Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)

Try shutting off by holding down the home and power button at the same time. Once turned back on you can try downloading again. Be sure you have at least 50% of battery life before starting.

Can wiFi only iPad be tethered to to iPhone for 3G data transmission

Can WiFi only iPad be tethered to to iPhone for 3G data transmission. I already have an iPhone with data plan and don't want or need a second data plan. Can I connect the WiFi only iPad to iPhone with USB (iPhone) cable for 3G transmission. Any help here would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Dave

pharmercist,
Since you're in canada you might be on Rogers or another carrier that does support tethering. Check with your carrier of course before turning it on - data can be costly.
The iPhone is designed to tether via Bluetooth PAN or USB dock connector. See http://www.apple.com/iphone/iphone-3gs/tethering.html
The iPad explicitly does not support tethering on Bluetooth. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 I've never heard of a 30 pin to 30 pin connector or any mention of the internet coming in from a 30 pin connector on any device so I doubt USB tethering could work on the iPad or any device in the family.
Your only bet would be to make or find an app that would proxy the data from 3G/EDGE and serve it up WiFi style. It wouldn't be built into the phone as a background service like proper tethering is and learning to code and join the developer program so you can install your own apps is a lot of work and expense. I don't know if the bluetooth issue is a software decision or built in limitation to the hardware - either way - it looks like iPad WiFi isn't going to tether easily.

The ipad mini does not have flash for pictures. Is there an app that can add flash for low light?

Since the ipad mini does not have flash for taking photos in low light situations I'm wondering if there is an app that one can use with flash?

Since there's no flash mechanism on the device, I doubt there's an app. You can't control what isn't there.

You have to set up the email account using IMAP instead of POP.
