These are totally different devices.
iPod touch is a pocketable, always-with-you device. Many kids carry it instead of a phone because of the often-present wifi and cool messaging apps (lets them text for free).
The iPad mini is an iPad, and not a phone-less iPhone. This is a smaller device than the larger iPad, but think hardback vs pocketbook. Both are too large to be instant-access. But they are MUCH better as ereaders for color textbooks, etc.
The two devices excel at different uses. Many good iPad apps are pretty terrible on the smaller screen, for example.
