I tried most of Google's offerings, iPad refused to install them. > I kinda have to question the value of giving someone a 7 year old device The device is perfectly usable. The battery life is still great on it, the screen is unscratched, it runs school-related apps just fine (or, did). What am I supposed to do with the thing now? Just junk it? edit: I ended up giving them an Android tablet. I still have this iPad, and would love to at least give it to an organization that can hand it off to someone in need. Something inside me absolutely balks at the idea of throwing away a perfectly usable, modern device just because the parent company turns a blind eye to it.

It's 5 years old which is when a lot of corporate computers end up in the junk heap even if they are still running.

  Why are you comparing a personal tablet to a corporate computer? Consumer needs and expectations are vastly different from those of businesses.

  Not really, there's big refurbished computers market, where this stuff ends up.

Well, you could just jailbreak it, find the compatible version of all apps that you need and sideload them. If you bought them previously, I don't see any moral issues with this.
