What can I do with an old ipad? Like the very first? Is there something interesting to do or should I use it as a cutting board?

You won't be able to use the latest, faddish games and apps, but there's a shit ton of stuff that'll still run on it. Even the app store says an app requires a newer version of iOS, many will let you install an older, compatible version. ie Youtube.

Yes mine does, doesn't work. You have to download a new youtube app from the app store.

My original iPad I bought day 1 still works, AMA.

Hmm just realized that I can't sign into gmail on this thing anymore. Says the browser is out of date, and it can't install the gmail app because it's on iOS 5.

Fucking Apple.

Why the fuck did you buy one day 1?

It plays media and you can surf the Internet. What do people use the latest ipads for if they aren't using it for that?
>>
>>51432696
Cause I worked for Apple at the time, the hype was real man

Here's a screenshot of the settings

I had to fucking sign into an old AOL account just send a screenshot because this damn thing doesn't support uploading pics in browser at all

Upgrade to 5.1.1
You can still access gmail through the browser.
You can connect the iPad to your computer and pull the screen shot from the DCIM folder like any camera.

Yeah first iPad was a joke. Kinda like the first iPhone (2G, no App store)
>>
my ipad 1 runs too slow to do anything really, it just runs out of memory and crashes if I try to browse the web. too many pages full of javascript and a billion elements
>>
I used to use mine for amazon video streaming of old shows and what not. The 4:3 aspect ration was nice for that and old stuff generally isn't hi def so it was perfect.

Then I sold it and I was much happier.

Don't know if you're the anon I saw in a thread yesterday, but run a restore on it to clear out the cruft. Mine here runs fine. The App Store is a bit crashy, but all works fine otherwise. No sluggishness at all.

>my ipad 1 runs too slow to do anything really,
You'd better get it fixed, then.
Mine copes just fine.
But then, I don't load it up with bullshit.
>>
>>51435036

Yup...
Try selling an old Android tablet and see how far you get. No happiness there.
>>
>>51435164
I sold my nexus 7 (2012) at the same time and got significantly more for the ipad even though the ipad had a broken charge port and a removed engraving.

There was no happiness with selling the nexus.

what iOS version are you running? mine's on 5.1.1 and I think it's too much for it to handle

I can't speak for this anon but my ipad had a broken sync port (apparently a common issue but it still charged fine) and that meant that there was not a non-convoluted way to get pictures off of it.

Also, maybe hes posting from his phone

There are plenty of apps that'll do that via wifi.
You should look around a bit.

I was about to edit some photos I took, so I figured it was easier to just do it that way.
This better?

>>51435251
You can install Dropbox if that's not considered convoluted.

>>51435230
Photo shows it's 5.1.1

can you install any decent version of linux on an ipad 1? does a linux support touch input?
>>
>>51435312
I don't have it anymore but that's good to know. Thanks anon.

>>51435420
>You can install Dropbox if that's not considered convoluted.
I would consider it convoluted because on a fully functional tablet I can just screenshot and either email myself the pic or plug in the usb cable and download the pic. I don't like installing apps if I don't have to.

Regardless, I don't have the tablet anymore so it's a moot point.

I still have a usable first gen iPhone, same, the browser is the only thing I can use, and I guess some of the emulators I had on there when I was still using it.

Oh really? Well I'll push that update then

I kind of didn't use the device for a few years since I got my Android phablet

I don't think you can upload attachments in gmail still in the browser
