Linux Journal has an article on a few ways to re-purpose an old smartphone or tablet that you're no longer using (because, let's admit it, smartphone software is advancing faster than smartphone hardware). Of course, if none of these appeal to you, you could always donate your phone to charity, where it may have a second life getting internet access to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford an internet-enabled device; or simply recycle it. So, fellow Soylentils: What's your favorite thing to do with a no-longer-wanted smartphone?

    I wouldn't think people would need assistance in finding uses for their old smart phones. I have one as a Spotify player in my bathroom, one to play NetFlix and YouTube to the Chromecast in my bedroom, and one in the car to run Torque Pro.
