Is he still able to use FT on iOS 6?

My understanding was the certificate expired and only recourse was to upgrade to ios7 or higher.
He doesn't use FaceTime anyway. Actually, I don't think he even knows the iPad can be used for FaceTime.
 
I use an app called duet to turn it into a third monitor, since it's a rather small screen I tend to only place things which I look at occasionally, i.e. a few different terminal windows or perhaps the mail app

This is actually probably a really good use for the ipad 2.

Can also be used as a sketchpad with astro pad app?

It's extremely slow and laggy running iOS8. It's unbearbly slow and so I just end up turning it off and using my Desktop/laptop/iPhone..

So.... you have an ipad mini for sale?

A pity you need ios8 or better.

My ipad2 will probably be a dedicated ereader when I upgrade it. Or a dedicated music player.

Just found one of these for $20 on Craigslist.

I'm going to.. I mean my 8 year old is really going to enjoy taking some intro piano lessons.

Still takes about 10 seconds for the app to load lol.

I have a "new iPad" (third gen) and it still works ok. It's primary used as a virtual guitar amp through GarageBand and it can only use an older version of GarageBand at that, and secondary usage is just web surfing. I'll likely upgrade to a new iPad to get something that's a bit swifter, but to be perfectly honest it's still usable. Slow, but usable.

The battery seems to be on the way out, and that's my biggest concern right now that the battery could fail and there could be a fire risk. Not that I'm expecting it to burst into flames at any second, but I'm more concerned about the battery than I am about the actual performance of the iPad right now.

Hey that keyboard I found would probably work great with garbage band.

The ipad3 battery was solid...not sure why you would worry that it would do something like the Note 7 fiasco.
 
Because these batteries are unstable compared to some other technologies, and because my battery seems to have issues already. It was at 23% last night (midnight). I plugged it in to charge and shut it down and this morning around 9am it was around 45%.

As I said, I'm not expecting it to burst into flames at any second but it does appear to be on the way out.
 
I use mine as second monitor with my MBP. Bought a flexible gooseneck arm and attached to my desk. I use Duet Display app. Looks and works great!

I use my ipad pro in the same way. I wonder if it's possible to hook up 2 ipads.

Now that I think about it I actually have an extra USB monitor I need to sell.
 
Still using iPad Air on iOS 8.1.2, jailbroken.

Last device I have that can still play Bioshock for iOS :(
 
I believe it, just like all those AOL CD - ROMs that used to come in the mail all the time made great coasters.
I never kept those around. But I wish I did because I later learned you could use a oceanic grade epoxy and then grind them down into lures. I knew some people who'd use them as shooting targets.
