Upgrading? Here's what you can do with an old mobile device

Upgrading your smartphone or tablet will leave you with a decision: What to do with your old device?

Likewise, parking your old phone in a speaker cradle that also charges gives you a bookshelf sound system for music and podcasts. Or you can keep the phone connected to its charger and stream music to a nearby wireless Bluetooth speaker. Powered speaker docks can be found online starting at around US$40 , and a wide variety are available.

And even if you have not lost the tiny stick remote that came with your set-top streamer yet, the on-screen keyboard included with most apps makes it easier to type in passwords. Depending on the processor and battery state, dedicating your old device to the pursuit of gaming is another way to give it extra life. Wiping off all the old data to start afresh gives you more room to download and store new games.

If tapping a touch screen has never been your idea of serious gaming, consider snapping your old phone into a special controller that brings physical buttons, the standard D-Pad and thumbsticks to the gaming experience. The Razer Kishi or Backbone One are among the options.If you have decided that your child can handle a hand-me-down phone or tablet for games and educational apps, take a moment to do a little bit of setup to protect both of you.
