If you visti the App Store on the old device (assuming teh old App Store app itself is still compatible), you might see different options compatible with the older device than you would using a newer desktop computer. If you ever bought / downloaded an app, it could be in your account's purchased list to re-download. Another option would be to jailbreak the iPad and then use another browser from somewhere other than the App Store. Although there are extra risks doing that. OR, you can install a completely different operating system, such as Linux (for example: ), but those are currently more "experimental" and kludgey than actually useful. OR, just use it for other things such as an ebook reader, video / music player, etc.
