Seriously. I was going to give away my first gen ipad but due to being so outdated it seemed more of an imposition than a gift.

Seriously. I was going to give away my first gen ipad but due to being so outdated it seemed more of an imposition than a gift.
- dagw 12y agoWhat's wrong with it? I have a first gen iPad and it still works fine. In fact I almost wish it would die already so that I would have a valid excuse to buy a new one.
- happyscrappy 12y agoMost kids games won't run on it.
- dagw 12y agoMine is full of kids games. Admittedly I've run across one or two games that didn't work, but it's not like I've ever experienced a lack of available kids games.
- happyscrappy 12y agoThanks, I will have to try it again.
- oneeyedpigeon 12y agoDid you upgrade iOS to version 5? I did, and it's never been the same since. I can now barely use the web browser without it crashing. Some domains are totally unusable; appears to be related to javascript use. Low-impact sites, such as HN, are OK. Other apps (such as the app store and many games) are very prone to crashing, too. There's very little I can use it for now without getting frustrated and giving up.
- acomjean 12y agoI have the same experience. I wish I could get a better web browser for it. my ipad 1 is just a video player/ book reader at this point (which isn't bad, just not grat)
- dagw 12y agoI just checked, and I'm running 5.1.1. No crashes, no problems worth mentioning. Sure it's not the fastest thing on the block, but most sites and apps I use run perfectly fine. Admittedly I don't really play any CPU or graphics intensive games.
