Apple has now given option to the owners of original iPhone to install the "last compatible version" of an app in their device. So in case you are stuck at iOS 4.2.1, but the application you want to install requires iOS 4.3 to work, you can now download the 4.2.1 version of that app. Therefore, people with original iPhone can now retain their older device even longer than before.
