My iPhone 3G is already slow and starting to be unusable. Pretty soon I am going to upgrade my main phone. However, it is such a shame to put it in my gadget drawer to collect dust. Do you have any interesting ideas of what to do with this old device?
Haha. Actually, not a bad idea, and a way to somewhat redeem your iPhone purchase.

You know, that is actually a really good idea. If you do dev, you end up with a pile of old devices. IIRC, there is also a Linux for the iPhone. You can use it run your army of robot minions.

A:
If your doing development work, you should keep it to test your code on old devices. Users don't upgrade expensive devices like iPhones as quick as they do less capable mobile devices. You'd be surprised on much of the market runs on old hardware. It's important to test new apps on old hardware to see if they work so you can at least warn customers that the app requires minimum hardware.
