I found an ipad mini 1 in my apt. Now that it can't be updated to ios 10, and I have no use for carrying around with me, I am trying to find a use for it. Any suggestions?

I've been trying for some time. No one wants a used ipad mini 1. Might prove to be even more difficult now that it cant be updated.

Yup. :(

I've be using my surface for that. I remote into my mothers computer quite often. Shes a destroyer of PC components.

This is what is was used for for a while. I had it connected to my home theater via bluetooth since the headphone jack is busted. I wonder why I stopped using it like that.
