I think it's pretty ridiculous that they support iPhone 3GS, but not the original iPad. They were still selling the original iPad about a year and a half ago. They still have original iPads that under warranty.
I guess when you buy an Apple product now, you can expect to be dumped from software support before your device is even old?

Rather than being disappointed that they don't support both, you should be impressed that they support one. If these were Android devices we would be lucky to get updates for the iPhone 4S.
