Wife's 1st Gen is a paperweight. Does anyone do a great app to make this a dedicated controller or even a home security interface using Arduinos or something?

If you have any smart home shit you could use it to control that assuming the apps are even supported anymore

Could also jailbreak it and develop your own smart home shit

Jailbreak, install old Cydia and install free apps and MAME to turn it into a MAME arcade using an iCade stand/controller.

Integrate it in the center console of your car.

Plus you're getting a much faster intuitive infotainment system than what any car can offer.

I transcoded a bunch of movies for my daughter and it's her in-car TV.

Harder to pick up from a table.

that's because car systems are made for reliability
surely an ipad can't withstand hundreds of hours of road vibrations

Film yourself destroying it in a creative way, put it on YouTube, and collect ad revenue and the tears of Apple fans.

screen res on these things are ~just~ good enough to read comics or eBooks if thats your thing

Dimsum.

How would you get the car to communicate with the iPad?

1024*768 resolution is cancerous to today's standards.
But you can use is as a comfy webbrowsing & pdf reading machine.

Also the heat in the cabin when the car is left outside in the sun / freezing cold when the weather is under 0 degrees Celsius.

Jailbreak it or grab a controller board and use the display in one of your raspberry pi doorstop projects.

snort lines off it like my ex
download scale apps
pour mnms over it

>>58152312
get the display out of it, buy a controller and connect it to a pi or some small mini pc

the 1st and 2nd gen ones have 1024x768 screens though.
