With the new iPhone 3G coming out, many iPod users are finding their old iPods and original iPhones redundant. However there are still a few things you could use them for, even if you’re not willing to keep and operate two iPods for the same use.

For example, an original iPhone could be used now as an iPod Touch, one you have your new iPhone to take on the calling and net browsing duties.

Some other ideas include:

The obvious one, sell it. You’ll always raise a fair few quid on eBay or other such website if you sell your iPod. You could also try one of the second hand shops that specialise in electrical items. iPods are sought after, so you’ll get a good price for it.

You could always give it as a gift to a family member who doesn’t have one. For example, dads are always the last to get into new technology, and giving them your old iPod or iPhone, loaded with your choice in music, is a great way of getting them into the technology.

How about keeping your old iPod as a spare to go travelling? It’s always a good idea to have a cheaper, older version to take out with you to the gym or when you’re running. That way you’re not risking your new gadget!

Finally what about the environment aspect? You could recycle your iPod and help to save the Earth. Apple even offers a recycling program so that you can post your old equipment back to them.
