iPad3 or iPad mini for flying, any thoughts please?

Thanks guys, please keep them coming....I'm beginning to get slightly swayed in the direction of the iPad mini....

Just wondering if the iPad mini could for the sake of portability and convenience, could fit inside pocket of say a leather A2 jacket or in one of the outside cargo pockets.

Thanks JohnEacott, yep agree that everyday use of ones iPad3 especially such as Numbers, Pages, iBooks, Kindle can drain the battery somewhat and also take forever to charge up! My average flying time is thankfully an hour maybe two a a stretch...so hopefully keep me going for that duration! However if I consider a trans ocean / trans Europe then maybe watch out for the duration of the battery but I'd expect to touch down for fuel and rest if planning a long trip so would automatically power down / switch off / charge for 45 mins to an hour dependent on the situation.

Thanks Rotordent, might look into purchasing that power pack

Cheers
