Joe, To do the things you are wanting, you will need a device with a cellular radio which means either an iPhone, or iPad with cellular access. Personally, I think the Mini is a great choice but from what you are saying, it sounds to me like the iPhone 5 is the way to go for you. I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini with WiFi only so it’s kind of the best of both worlds for me without having to spring for an additional data plan.

Anyway, I got an iPad 4th gen as a surprise. Honestly, I don’t get it. It’s the oversized iPhone I feared. The single best feature I can point to is the four-finger swipe to switch between apps. Otherwise, without 3G access, I can’t access Dropbox outside of wireless range. Only one of my text editors will give me some access to the Dropbox file structure, but overall this doesn’t work as the commuter tool I was hoping for. Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files outside of wireless range, or is 3G really needed to make this a viable commuter device? I’m thinking I’d be better off upgrading to the iPhone 5 for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before selling off this unit, I want to make sure I’m giving it a fair shake. Right now it just feels like one big ass screen that feels more awkward than useful. Even the greater web page range is not enough to make me admire the extra screen real estate.
