New iPad? Here's what to do with the old one To see a new iPad is to want a new iPad -- that new screen is so much better -- and that's why thousands of people around the world lined up outside Apple stores Friday morning for a chance to buy one of their own. In fact, analysts expect that Apple will sell up to 3 million units by the end of the month. But what should you do if you already have a working iPad at home? Can you really justify buying a new one? We're just kidding. Of course you can! You'll just need to figure out what to do with your old, still-functioning but not quite as awesome iPad first. We suggest selling it or handing it down to a young person. Rob Griffiths of PC World checked the resale price of different iPad models with nine online vendors who offer cash for iPads, and even put together a chart of which places offer the most money for different styles of devices. Places to check include eBay's Instant Sale system, Gazelle and NextWorth, which allows you to trade your iPad in at participating Target stores. The good news is that if you have a 64GB Verizon iPad 2, you can get as much as $450 for it from Gazelle.com. The bad news is that finding the best price for your iPad can be time-consuming. "Your old iPad has value, but it's up to you to figure out who offers the best combination of price, reputation, and ease-of-use in taking that old iPad off your hands," Griffiths writes. Alternatively, consider handing your old iPad down to your child, a friend's child or a young relative. In a recent study, PBS KIDS found that almost 25% of parents of children ages 2 to 10 say they hand their personal tech devices off to their kids. But before you designate your old iPad as a child's toy, you'll probably want to clear it of any personal content. You can do that easily by plugging the old iPad into your computer, clicking the name of your iPad in the sidebar and then opening the Summary tab (unless it's already open). Then hit the Restore button. When the computer asks if you want to back it up, select no. Next, you'll want to enable restrictions so that your 4-year-old son will not wind up watching weird "thigh" videos on YouTube when you thought he was just playing a memory game. This can be done pretty easily by tapping Settings, then General, then Restrictions. Good luck, and happy new iPadding!
