Much to the surprise of .. well, not many apparently, Steve Jobs has announced that Apple will no longer be supporting or supplying updates for 1st generation iPhones. Suspicions began when iPhone OS 4 was announced and the iPhone 3G and 3Gs were mentioned.
This development doesn't come as much of a shock because people realize that technology is moving forward rapidly and nothing stays the same for very long anymore.
The news that the 1st generation iPhone would be losing support was leaked when Jobs answered an e-mail from a customer that inquired about future support for the 2G.
Jobs replied by simply stating, "Sorry, no."
