Q: Software Updates for the iPhone 3G??

Does anyone know if Apple is not doing software updates for the 3G anymore?  I tried to d/l an app that requires 4.3, but i only have 4.2.1 and iTunes says I have the latest software.  Hmmm...

    And I know 4.3 is for 3GS or newer...I'm just wondering if the 3G is dead in Apple's eyes now....

    Cannot speak for Apple. It does seem at iOS 4.3 the iPhone 3G was dropped and will never many if any of the the features. iTunes 10.1 added support for iOS 4.2. Recent iTunes 10.2 adds iOS 4.3 support however; that release is running into a lot of problems for a lot of different users, myself included who has 3G now with 4.2.1 installed. I was thinking of 3GS until major issue with latest iTunes release, just 20 days ago.  At present iTunes will not even see device (my iPhone) connected and going back to Version 9.2 or even 10.0 is not an option dues to iOS. Ever hear term "rock and a hard spot?  I think I am there now, Apple they may see a new 3GS or 4G customer.
