They're updating the iPad line in October, (probably late October). So you could either get a better device, or the same one but cheaper. Current rumours are that the new update won't have retina though.

I didnt follow the previous years, are they usually that fast between announcement and releasing products? I know there is a apple event on the 10th, but all I heard was it was iphone related, not ipad

I have an iPad 3 and have no problems running intensive apps and losing no power while plugged into the wall. My iPad actually charges slightly when doing so. I believe this is dependent on the cable length. I can charge and use my iPad 3 with my 3ft. USB cable, but not my 6ft. USB cable for some reason.

Anyways, don't buy the Mini until the next revision is released. You might be happy with it if you buy it right now, but you will instantly regret it once the retina version comes out.

damn it Andor, get your reasonable advices out of my thread, im looking for validation on my impulse purchase damn it! :(

Like the topic says, I'm really struggling to resist buying a mini right now as opposed to waiting for the inevitable retina one, probably in a couple of months around xmas time. I'm really into...casual (for lack of a better word) iOS games atm, so much that I really dont feel like playing "actual" games. My iphone is starting to put a strain on my eyes, and I dont want a normal sized ipad as the mini would be better to take with me to work or something, and I really just want it as a games machine (silly I know), basically, as if it was a portable like a vita or a 3ds. Also the fact that im working more lately (5 nights a week, all graveyard shifts midnight to 8) is really making me tired on the days off, and I just want to lay in bed a bit and click on my farms or whatever, or play some TCG games (im loving them on the iphone so i imagine the experience is much better on a screen where I can see the damn cards).

So yeah, I know the smart thing would be to wait for the retina one, but the problem with waiting for shit is usually, you want to buy shit because you want shit at that moment... hell who knows if Ill still be into these games in 2 months. I know Im into them now (a lot more than I ever thought possible, but thats another can of worms) so I dunno what to do. Maybe just get the cheapest one, just the 16gig one, and then get a bigger retina one down the line? To be fair for the stuff I want to play I probably dont need a retina one (assuming it has a better gfx chip like the ipad), I dont want to play any FPSs or anything like that, hell, in the future it will probably exclusvely be a Hearthstone device (Im going to go so deep into that, its scary) and I bet that doesnt need a retina one to run well >_> So yeah, thoughts fellow bombers? Do the smart thing and wait and keep raping my eyes with the iphone, or just buy one now because its now that I need/want one?

PS: Anyone has a mini and knows if you can play with it plugged to the wall without losing power? I know the ipad has a problem with it losing power whilst still plugged in (running apps of course), even my mom called me up and asked me if that was normal because it happens on hers. That's kinda important.

So long story short, the place I work at used to be pretty slack in regards to people taking shit to work to pass the time (I always took a flashdrive with a bunch of tv shows on it for example) as long as it didnt interfere with work (in my case I work the graveyard shift so there is a lot of dead time, no pun intended) but lately they are taking a more strict aproach and dont really want people to take anything anymore (even blocking most sites and shit)... except they dont really check phones, so Im now delving into iOS gaming for the first time because I desperately need something to pass the time.

But, I dont want to spend any money, because this will be strictly for work-use a couple of hours a night, I dont intend to play them at home or anything. So,what are in your opinions, the best free iOS games out there? Doesnt have to be popular stuff, if theres some obscure game you think is worth it, let me know.

So far Ive tried PvZ2 (its ok, not really feeling it like the first), Tiny Tower (been playing this the most, well, "playing", its stupidly addictive) and I played a bit of Haunted Hollow, a Firaxis game, which was surprisingly cool, but surprisingly hard >_> So what else is out there, any genre, dont care, throw them at me.

PS: I know im missing out on the best stuff for wanting to stick with free shit, but thats enough for me, at least for now

heh funny thread, only because I just did (well failed) the first one of these and I thought to myself "that was horrible, surely Im not the only one that thinks that". Like everyone already said, way too many enemy units, your guys dont do shit, just a awful idea and execution all around, it actually completely put me off continuing the game, and I was actually enjoying it as I tend to enjoy the COD campagins. I guess Ill just continue the game (it asked me if I wanted to retry and I didnt, now I dont think I can retry again and Im not starting the game over) and get the bad ending, assuming Ill probably fail the others if they are even harder.

Viola not being in it is a bigger loss, was Angel even a Saint in 3? Viola sure was

lol, I completely forget about her. Though she was also one of the weaker newcomers in SRTT; Oleg is the only one I genuinely missed, and it was even a little sad hearing Kinzie mourn him in her final audio log. But hey, we got Gat back, so I guess it evens out :P

Oh, and of course Angel was a Saint.

I dont remember Angel at all, Viola at least had the Nyteblayde mission
