The iPhone 4 actually still works pretty well, partially due to receiving a warranty replacement at some point in that span, but the first gen iPad is slow as hell and hopelessly out of date.

You going the current models or plan to wait for the this years refresh?
Also need a mouse for my computer so i'll get the touch mouse probably before the fall semester starts,

I was planning to get an iPhone 5 but was waiting until there was an untethered jailbreak for it, and then that took a lot longer than I expected and by that point I had other things I wanted to buy, and then I decided to wait for the next one.

As Adrock quoted, I intend to wait for the next revision on each of them. And if by "touch mouse" you're referring to Apple's Magic Mouse, I don't recommend it. I love most of the things Apple makes, but there's always something I don't like about their mice. It's great in theory, combining the best aspects of a multitouch trackpad with a more traditional mouse, but it falls flat on both accounts in my experience.
If you just want it for simple things, it's fine, but if you want to use more than a few gestures it gets unwieldy, and doesn't always register properly. I bought a 10-button Logitech mouse and never looked back.

I like the Apple mouse, but you can get a trackpad that works the same for less money. I never thought I'd prefer a trackpad over a mouse, but after using only laptops for so much I'm happy with either/or.

Me hating on an Apple product, and Brandogg subsequently defending it. What the hell is going on in here?
