So there you have it - a series of fun things you can do with your old iPad (or other iOS device) when the time comes to upgrade.
What can i do with an apple writing pad install#
Some users might install XBMC others may explore the host of available (but inherently less secure - be warned) apps. It seems inevitable jailbreaking will become popular among those wanting to squeeze more use out of older iOS devices - particularly as newer apps cease to work on older hardware. That's progress, I suppose, but I think this will encourage many older iPad owners into… With this in mind it seems a shame that as each iOS version ships third party apps improve until you find perfectly good hardware doesn't support the apps you need. Pop your old iPad in a heavy-duty case and it could become a perfect entertainment center for your kids - just install a range of fun child-friendly apps and books and set the parental controls to prevent accidental purchases.Īll these examples tell us those old iPads are still pretty good machines. Take a look at RAM Mount or ModulR for mounts. Your older iPad could become your in-car entertainment, messaging and navigation system left permanently in your vehicle so you never go without. Leave your iPad pointed at a key location (the front door?) and if movement is detected your iPad will spot it and let you know. Use your old iPad as a remote video surveillance system for your home, using AtHome Camera Free or an equivalent app. There's no shortage of organizations seeking iOS devices to use for good causes, for example the HollyRod Foundation which will donate the tablet to special needs children - Macworld has a lengthy list here. Alternatively get an S-video or VGA cable, or Apple TV, and you can watch content from your iPad on your TV. Most of the big TV firms (Sony, for example) already offer iOS apps that can control their TV sets, so your old iPad could be the household TV remote. Spend 99cents to turn your iPad into a conversation timepiece using the QLockTwo app, which tells the time in words. With a MIDI interface and your choice of amp emulation app, your old iPad can become your main guitar effects unit, left permanently connected to your rig.
