iPod Touch 5th gen : Good or bad ?

Currently using iPad 3 and iPod Touch 3rd gen (gave 4th gen to my bro and took his 3rd gen).

How is the performance of 5th gen iPod in day to day usage ?

I didn't see one in real life but how is the screen ? (Is it exactly same or is there little difference Vs iPhone 5 ?) , I have seen iPhone 5 screen as i have seen one at store and my dad is getting it in 2-3 weeks time as currently 64 gigs not available (i also made post before regarding this)

Can u help me decide on a combo i am thinking of ?

[HTC 8S] Vs [iPod Touch 5th gen + dumb phone] since both have same price point and similar features (512 MB RAM , 5 MP Camera , Similar screen size etc.) except OS

These are the reasons why i am picking 5th gen :

1.Screen (I want best possible screen)

2.Camera (8S camera is bad , I want decent photos with minimal effort)

3.Apps (Can i run them on high end graphics ?)

4.Performance (Am i going to get same performance as 3rd gen iPad ?)

If those 4 things are bad or average or not worth $400 , then i am going to take HTC 8S path because i can get 3G , WP and expandable storage or i can take iPad mini + dumb phone combo too (last possible option) but i think its waste to have 2 iPads.

What's ur opinion ?
