Trying to load Minecraft to my iTouch

Why won't Minecraft Pocket Edition Lite load to my iTouch with os ver4.2.1 (suppose to be the latest per "Latest Updates") but Minecraft says it needs ver4.3?

iPod touch, iOS 4.2

This usually indicates you have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. If so, it can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1

That's exactly correct, my iTouch is a 2nd generation. Do you know why it can't be updated beyond 4.2.1?

I don't believe Apple has stated a reason, but I would guess that the hardware is not capable of supporting new features of higher Operating Systems.
