Game Center Drops Support for iPhone 3G and 2nd Gen iPod Touch in iOS 4.1 Beta 3
Amongst the changes to the developer release of iOS 4.1 last night, Apple has removed support for Game Center on the iPhone 3G and 2nd generation iPod Touch.
Game Center is Apple's social gaming network that offers iOS game developers to link into a centralized service that offers high score leaderboards, achievements and multi-player matchmaking. The announcement of the system was welcome by developers and gamers as a way to combat the increasingly fragmented existing gaming networks found on the platform.
Apple's removal of iPhone 3G and 2nd Generation iPod Touch devices comes without further explanation. Such a move would restrict the service for the iPhone 3GS, 3rd Generation iPod Touch, iPhone 4 and presumably iPad.

My guess would be that they will not support the older G3 models with this new iOS - look at the problems they have been having with 4.0 on these older phones. Also remember people, this is only a BETA, so it is not the shipping product and this feature could be reinstated in the final release so don't get your panties in a bunch just yet!

Sounds like those being left behind tech wise are really being left behind!
Time to upgrade guys..... or at least don't update your firmware.
Gonna be a lot of whiners going on about this. Some think their product should be supported for ever.

:p haha love it.
this is probably because of the hardware limitation of the 3g and 2g touch, i know its only two years and apple should support these devices for a good few years (few being more than two)

What?! Now that's just *not right*, Apple!! Way to fragment some more and piss people off!
As the owner of a 2nd Gen Touch which runs iOS 4 *really* well after a full restore, I am "Not happy, Jan!!" :mad:
