So i think you are a self-confessed tech fiend who when it comes to the latest gadgets cannot help but trade in a perfectly workable device in favor for the most up-to-date innovation. The reasons for your relentless pursuit for the latest technological wares is because you believe anything other than the hottest appliance on the market will not suffice.
Of course your insatiable quest for the latest gadgets is costing you a fortune and if you were honest with yourself, the money you are spending on technology would be better spent somewhere else.
Fortunately there is a way of overcoming your voracious appetite for trading in great gadgets for even greater ones.
Breathe New Life into Older Gadgets :
One way to extend the self-made lifeline of your gadgets is to give older devices next generation skills. Take, for example, the iPad. There has been a string of iPads launched on the market, each generation claiming to offer more and be even more multifaceted than the last one.
Instead of resorting to having to sell your iPad, why don’t you give your old iPad next generation skills?
Tab Syncing :
One of the greatest assets of the iOS 6 is that it enables users to open tabs on other Apple devices that are synced to the same iCloud account.
The good news is that you can mimic this iOS 6 asset by simply using Google Chrome. Simply sign into your Google account and you will be able to see what tabs you have got open on another computer or your Android phone.
Add Siri to the mix! :
It wasn’t until the third generation of iPad, when Apple’s Siri voice assistant arrived, causing older models to look significantly inferior. The good news is that Google’s Search app enables users to search the internet vocally rather than having to type in phrases.
What’s more, the Google Search app is free, meaning you can have aniOS 6-style iPad without the additional costs – well almost!
Offline Reading :
By installing Pocket onto your iPad, no matter what generation it is, you can again replicate the iOS 6 by creating an offline reading list. Having an offline reading list can prove to be invaluable when you are places where getting online isn’t possible, such as a plane flight or a long train journey. Simply install Pocket onto your iPad and you can add articles onto your device which can be read in your own time offline.
Again as Pocket is free to download, your quest to save money by breathing next generation assets into older models, beckons closer.
Dragon Dictation :
Propel an older iPad into new generation realms by downloading Dragon Dictation. This easy-to-use voice recognition app enables you to dictate instant emails and texts with your voice, which has been proven to be five times faster than typing.
This means that by installing Dragon Dictation on your iPad, you won’t miss out on the incredible time-saving merits of voice recognition, even if you only own a first generation iPad.
