iPad3 or iPad mini for flying, any thoughts please?

Happy Easter all,

I own an iPad flying i,e memory map, Foreflight.

However I will be upgrading my phone to iPhone5 in the next few months of course its gonna be a different adaptor pin Lightning as opposed to 30 pin have on my iphone4 and Ipad.

I've been an Apple man for nearly 5 years now and haven't looked back! I like the commonality of one single power source can power both my iPad and iPhone4 so if one is going abroad forgets to take another power source, its not a problem. In short I like the commonality.

The only glitch as I mentioned initially is maybe sorting out an accessory adapter but laying all that aside, I will be contemplating using tablet in the cockpit soon and read the ipadpilot web, and it appears that the iPad mini is becoming more popular due to restrictive space

Out of interest, which out of the Apple, do you all use - the pad3 or the mni? OR which would you recommend?

Cheers
