    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    The 1G can only go as high as 3.1.3 that you get there:

    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)       

    To more easily find compatible apps:

    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

      Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version
