Continuity not supported to / from my iPad? I've just installed ios8 on Both my iPhone 5s and iPad 3 (model md329kn/a). However, I can't get continuity working. 

Tried starting an e-Mail on the iPad, hitting the lockout button and picked up my iPhone. No icon in the lower left corner :/ Same the other Way from iPhone to iPad. They're both on the same wifi. Should also mention that I was able to call my iPhone from my gf's phone and answer it from the iPad.

Handoff enabled in iPhone settings menu in the general section under Siri but I thought the continuity is always on - only handoff needs to be enabled? 

Also, no handoff menu is visible on my iPad where it is visible in the settings app on the other device.

Did I miss something or is the iPad not capable of handoff?
