Which should I buy, an iPod Touch 5 or an iPad 3?

I'm a college student. I want something that is portable and lightweight to bring to school so I can use apps related to school, play games, listen to music, take down notes, etc. Which should I buy? It's a tough choice knowing that the iPod touch has almost the same features as the iPad but it's a whole lot smaller and lighter. Your answers are appreciated. Please do help. Thank you!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

For all those you listed....Ipad(bigger screen)


Im in college and I use my ipad everywhere. I hardly use my macbook anymore, unless its a project or paper where a computer is more practical.


To me the only use for an Ipod would be to put in your pocket and easier music listening. I have a phone so just an ipod to me is useless.

If you want to take notes ,i mean virtual notes,iPad would be a perfect solution,because i use my iPad for college purpose and now i dont use Books at all,all i use is my iPad.


Some of the best apps for notes would be:


Enlyte Note (it's free)

Penultimate (0.99 $))


iPod touch do have all the features,but when it comes to educational iPad would suite best than an iPod touch.


iHappy to help
