Can you upgrade to ios4 on an original iphone?

  Listen to Marco's podcast sometime when he talks about the support burden for Instapaper owing to older iPhones. Sure, you can't bring an iPhone 1 up to iOS 4, but he can't cut loose all the old iPhones either. Aren't phones effectively on a 2-3 year subsidized schedule anyways? I know a minority of people do buy unsubsidized phones at full price, but that minority is tiny. (Finally, remember we're talking iPads here, not iPhones. Two very different markets.)

    was asking because the parent wrote "Also AFAIK the four generations of iPhones can all run the same software, which in a way makes it equivalent to a single console lifecycle, since consoles are never forwards compatible." I didnt believe that statement :)
