Hi my wife has just decided to try an iphone, as she has been using a very standard Nokia phone.
I have bought her a second hand 3GS to start with until we see if she is going to get on with it ok?
Everytime I try to put aps on it! It says they are not able to run with the software addition!
So have I wasted my money or are there still aps available that work on the 3GS please?
iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.2
If your version of iOS is 4.2.1, you may have a 3G as opposed to the 3GS. Please verify the model number from Settings - General - About - Model = ??
hi the model is MB489B if that helps in answering my question thanks
Any app that works on the version of iOS on the device will work on the 3GS.

That would indeed be a 3G model, which can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1. To aid in finding compatible Apps, check out the App below.

Here are some of the sites and techniques for finding compatible apps for older iPods which have been discussed in the forums here (including the one stedman1 mentioned):
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Discussion post by msgarmar - technique to sort apps by date.
iOS Search - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
