When Apple released the first iPad in 2010, it spurred a tech revolution. The wonderfully inclusive ease of the iPhone was now available on a tablet, and the possibilities were endless. And since then, the engineers at this revolutionary company have worked to make this device able to do even more. 

It seems that each version is thinner and lighter than the last, and users have access to considerably more capabilities every time Apple updates this magical device. But that means die hard fans and users who rely on this device almost exclusively will get a new one before their last model stops working, leaving them with two fully functional iPads. 

And while you will definitely want to use your new iPad or iPad mini for all of the awesome things it can do, your older model can still preform a few functions as well. Andrew Tarantola recently wrote an article for Gizmodo, covering just a few of the potential uses for an iPad that you're no longer relying on primarily anymore. 

Tarantola suggests that you might want to use the Kindle and Nook apps, in addition to the native iBooks function, to turn your old iPad into an E-reader. Especially if you love to read books and magazines, your old iPad can be perfectly handy for these simple functions, and you won't have to worry about operating systems or anything else.

Other suggestions in the Gizmodo article included using the iPad as an auxiliary screen, a recipe library and even an in-car entertainment device. If you find the right use for your old iPad, you'll wonder how you ever lived without both of your tablets.
