iPad 1 - Uses Now?

[SC03OTT]

Anyone else still got an original iPad 1? If so, what are you using it for? I still have one and for some reason I'm not wanting to get rid of it like I do my other Apple devices I no longer use. It does seem to be borderline useless now. Can't download any apps as they all require a later version of iOS than v5 that's on it. So, other than punting it off to music magpie for £30, thoughts?

Use it as a digital photo frame/music player and keep it for a few years until Apple fanboys are willing to pay mega bucks for an original iPad after everyone else has thrown them out.

Give it to the kids maybe? (If you have any)

Hmm. Not a bad idea for the photo frame. Not sure where I'd put it though. Music player would be good if you could get Apple Music streaming service on it but you can't.

It did cross my mind if it'd go up in value a bit. Not enough to retire on but a bit would be nice.

The wee lad did have it but as pretty much all apps are now incompatible due to the iPad only going up to iOS 5 it became useless to him. We got him a mini at Christmas to replace it.
