iPads seem to follow, with the result that you run behind the facts quickly. together at breakneck speed But what do you do with an ‘old’ iPad? We put some ideas for you in a row!
Actually it is obviously too ridiculous for words that we speak of an ‘old’ iPad, while only the first model appeared on the market in 2010. However, the fact that each new generation of iPads ensures a considerable acceleration and improvement of the device, and knowing that we have now arrived, with the fourth generation iPad makes clear that one is not really very impressive anymore!
we do not want to call the first iPad,Worthless but the fact is that this first generation of its big brothers can not keep up. Many games do not run on the first iPad and even the latest versions of iOS can not be installed. On the first generation of Apple’s tablet Yet that is no reason to put the tablet with the rubbish there are plenty of alternatives to the device to display.

The first idea
click somewhat obvious, but the reason we’re here as selling the iPad, is that many people think that the first iPad is worth nothing. That is very with it, for a first generation iPad in good condition (for example, 16 GB Wi-Fi), you can easily get to market more than 150 euros.
marketplace Is not quite your thing, you can also just sell the tablet to Apple, through the recycling program at http://macworld.link.idg.nl/recy. For the aforementioned model in good condition gives Apple at the time of writing 107 euros. Not very much, but if the alternative is that the tablet unused leave on the shelf, that is a good amount. Like the sin? Then consider to give away to someone who really has something, but would never own one (can) buy.
iPad 
You can sell your old iPad, even Apple.
not forget: Empty
If you decide to sell your iPad or actually give away, do not forget to first make it big. tablet empty You do this by pressing Settings / General / Reset . In the menu that appears, press Erase All Content and Settings . Not only is all content erased (make it so that you have a backup), but the iPad will be put back to factory settings, again albeit with the latest firmware you have installed.
E-reader
Your old iPad may not be fast enough to play flashy games it still a nice e-reader. IPad purely used to read books, is therefore not a bad idea.
Throw away all other apps, and pour your iPad literally full of e-books. That you do not have by definition to do with the iBooks app, there are very good alternative apps for the iPad, such as Kindle (the app from Amazon), Boekenbol (the app Bol.com) and much more. You will see that more often you will use than you did when it was new and hip.
that ‘old’ iPad next to you is on your nightstand full of books, as an e-reader 
The iPad does a great service as an e-reader.
Remote
These universal remotes you can buy for just over a hundred euro be nice and convenient, but you’re staring at it. to a tiny screen Could you use the iPad as a universal remote that would be much more pleasant.
Fortunately possible. Apart from the fact that many manufacturers as televisions, sound systems, etc., have apps for the iPad that you can control the hardware (if supported), there is a universal app that can control almost anything:. IRule
You can download iRule free in the App Store (the app also supports older versions of iOS) and then choose from a world of modules. Apple TV, your Windows Media Center, your NAS, you name it, you can control them all with your iPad. Granted, it is a somewhat costly remote, but once the hippest, and you had the iPad already in the house.
The most advanced (and expensive) remote you’ve ever had.
Virtual Magic Trackpad
About this possibility, we own quite excited. You can easily transform your iPad namely a multitouch trackpad, or actually a virtual Magic Trackpad. All you need to do is to download an app called RC Trackpad HD. This unfortunately does cost 5.49 euros, but he will give you a lot of fun.
The iPad connects to your computer over the wireless network, then you can use your Mac or PC to control with gestures.’s multitouch touchscreen tablet You can associate actions with different gestures, so you get a very fast and efficient method to create for yourself. Yourself Cheaper alternatives are available but do not offer as many options as this app.
Turn your iPad into a trackpad, a very efficient function.
Music
Even if you “only” an iPad with 16 GB of storage memory yourself, you can fit about 3500 mp3 files still on, or about 350 music albums. That makes even the oldest iPad still an ideal music player. The speakers of the tablet, of course leave something to be desired, but you can still buy for relatively little money fine docks that actually turns your iPad into an impressive quality jukebox. And since you do not use your old iPad, he may well remain permanently. Docking station Tip: do not wait too long, because Apple’s new Lightning connector will soon become dominant as connection for docking stations
.
Even a 16 GB iPad is lost. still 350 albums The ideal music player so.
photo frame and alarm clock
You bet
iPad as a photo frame and / or alarm really feels like shopping in a Ferrari, but remember: anything is better than your expensive and beloved tablet ever to gather dust in a closet
.
When you press the Home button is pressed when the iPad is in standby, you will see a small icon with a flower next to the slider that lets you unlock the iPad. If you press this icon, then there is a slideshow of the photos on your iPad starts automatically (you can adjust its operation within Settings ).
addition, you can install beautiful alarm clock apps like Night Stand HD 2 (free), which lets you create the most beautiful clock radio you will ever have.
It is an expensive alarm clock, but nice and effective it is will.
Jailbreaking
We are not a big fan of jailbreaking, especially since it can be when a new version of iOS is released. quite a hassle However, given that the first generation Apple iPads do not support and therefore will never be, a new version of iOS installed on the jailbreak of your iPad an interesting option.
You can then install all kinds of apps that you previously could not or should install. It turns your iPad suddenly a totally different kind of tablet. A fun experience that is definitely worth it. Information on how to jailbreak can be found on www.jailbreaking.nl.
The iPad 1 is no longer supported by Apple, which makes jailbreak interesting.
Technical highlights
tips that we have mentioned in this article are tips that you can apply to as your ‘old’ iPad to breathe new life. directly in home itself But if you are very handy and keep you from something spectacular, you can also go much further.
Build your iPad in your refrigerator for example, so that it functions as a cookbook with live Internet connection. Also, we have already seen examples of iPads that are built into the wall of a toilet in the dashboard of a car, a guitar or keyboard, and so on.
your iPad might not high tech, but are by building it into everyday objects, you make something special of.
Do you want something less useful but much hipper? Then consider your iPad to build up an old iMac, a pinball machine or to make a real slot machine. You can not think that there is online to find an example. It is perhaps not all that useful, but it gives you at least have a lot of fun (and respect) with the iPad you until recently no longer awarded glance.
You can keep it simple, but you can also feel loose go and launch a great conversion project with your iPad in the lead.
