Is iPod Touch Gen 2 supported by iTunes?

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch Model MC086LL. Is it compatible with iTunes and which version? It has iOS 3.1.1 on it currently, but I read that it can be updated to 4.2.1 in questions that are over 2 years old, so I'm not sure if it still is true, or if iTunes works with this model anymore.

iPod touch, iOS 3.1.2
