There is a short life span for mobile news and technology. Mobile users are well served by the fierce competition between Microsoft and Apple that produces an endless flow of new technology and fancy mobile applications.

For Apple, it's out with old Granny Smith models and in with a fresh and young array of iPhones. Since 2007, Apple have updated their beloved iPhone models in quick succession to  increase their market potential and to keep iPhone customers interested.

Just last week, iPhone patriarch Steve Jobs told a customer that Apple will be moving on from 2G technology and there would be no further updates scheduled for the iPhone 2G.
 
From now on, Apple will dedicate their time and money to creating new technology instead of wasting it on updating older iPhone models. As such, it is unlikely the iPhone 2G will be able to support the 4.0 Operating System, of which we caught a glimpse last week just days after the iPad launch.

Unfortunately, 2G customers will soon be stuck with an outdated model after the new Apple O.S. is launched this year. The creative folk producing our favourite mobile apps will therefore abandon the iPhone to unleash their talents on the new Apple 4.0 OS.

2G customers are likely to lose access to parts of Apple's world famous ‘App Store,’ and should perhaps invest in a brand new iPhone to keep pace with Apple's speedy advances in technology.
