the 4th Anniversary of the iPhone

There are four generations of iPhone models, each accompanied by one of the four major releases of iOS (formerly iPhone OS). The original iPhone was a GSM phone that established design precedents like screen size and button placement that have persisted through all models. The iPhone 3G added 3G cellular network capabilities and A-GPS location. The iPhone 3GS added a compass, faster processor, and higher resolution camera, including video recording at 480p. The iPhone 4 has a rear facing camera (720p video) and a front facing camera (at a lower resolution) for FaceTime video calling and for use in other apps like Skype. The phone also featured a higher-resolution display; it was released on June 24, 2010. In the U.S., AT&T was the only authorized carrier until February 10, 2011, when a CDMA version of the iPhone 4 launched for Verizon.

From iPhone 2G to iOS 4

iOS 4 is free, which is great, the only thing is when you have an iPhone 2G  : you can't install it on your 1st-generation iPhone , it wont be able to run iOS 4 Multitasking.

iOS 4 is available for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and the 2nd and 3rd-generation iPod touch but the original iPhone 2G and 1st-generation iPod touch are not able to upgrade to iOS 4,

All the new features in iOS 4 are only available for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the 3rd-generation iPod touch . So what do we do with our  iPhone 2G ? We save it for later ? 

I wonder if an iPhone 2G is going to last forever,  like a Fridge in the 50 or the cars in Cuba.

Maybe in 10 years from now it will be a master piece in some private collection but what should we do for now with something that is still working pretty well ? Trash it ? Buy an iPhone 5 ? Steve Jobs any answer ?
