repurposing old ipad 1.

[Siddbass]

Well, I was going through this box of old tech and I found a working iPad 1. It has been jailbrokrn on ios 5.1.1. Is there any way I can repurpose it, change softwares, install android maybe? Tell me if I can do anything with it please.

its best as a coaster to be honest you cant get anything new on it and its pretty much old dead and disbanded by apples terms

[Lolzious]

Not much. You could still use it as a Youtube/Facebook machine or something.

Door stopper (that's what I used mine for), cutting board, paperweight, height adjuster for wobbly tables

I use it as an OBD code reader in my garage for all of my auto tech purposes. OBD reader apps use very little resource, and space. Just reading from an OBD converter plug to apple connector. 

 

Other than that, it's great to set my coffee on it while doing work. Apple has such an expensive coaster...

theres some very interesting alarm clock apps making the round.

maybe something like that?

 

(in belgium theres an app of a comedian that says very cringy stuff depending on the day, and time. i'm pretty sure other countries have thought of this as well...)

MCM are the best.

Its pretty shitty to be honest. I think Ill just end up recycling it. I use an iPad air so I am fine there. I just didn't want to throw it away.

Install it in your bathroom or something to watch movies on in the bath
