3G apps not installing and software update?

I have an Iphone 3G running IOS 4.2.1. i try to sync apps, like youtube, netflix, angry birds and it says it cant install. need newer version of software. but when I check for updates, it says the software is up to date. Can I really not download any apps?

iPhone 3G, iOS 4.2, 4.2.1

No, most apps developers target a newer IOS version.

Your iPhone 3G IOS 4.2.1 is the latest and greatest, there's no more updates for this iPhone.

I'm afraid you have to buy a newer iPhone if you want to update your apps.
