[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1209247"] If we can use the iPhone as a guide, then the original iPad will become "obsolete" in about two years. What I mean by this is that my original iPhone can't go any higher than 3.1.3, so I can't run iOS 4 on it. It took three years for that to happen. It has to be said that the vast majority of apps on the App Store for iPhone can still run on my iPhone, so I don't yet consider it "obsolete," just "no longer supported." Being that most apps for the iPad don't require a fast processor etc., I don't think we'll see a lack of (original) iPad-compatible apps for quite a long time by computer standards. [/QUOTE]
