Things to do with an old smartphone


I'd never thought of recycling an old-model smartphone into another form of device;  but when you think about it, it's basically a small computer, isn't it?  Lifehacker has several interesting suggestions for 'repurposing' old smartphones, including:

  • A home-based phone handset;
  • A remote control device;
  • A portable gaming device;  and many more.

The article also links to another with suggestions for reusing old tablet computers.  Interesting stuff - and certainly far more useful than filling up garbage dumps with outdated, unwanted electronics!

I leave my old iphone in the car, plugged into the stereo system as a music player.
