People would have been so miffed if they would have told them iOS 4 wasn't available for the 3G.

"OMG, they are forcing us to upgrade!"

What would they have them do? Send out free (better) hardware everytime they update iOS in a major way? That just doesn't seem right.

People would have been miffed, and left with a iPhone that still worked (just like owners of the first generation iPhone).

The kind of user who starts sentences with “OMG” is the kind of user who doesn’t know iOS 4.0 is out until the apps they use start being released without 3.x compatibility — if then — and doesn’t even often sync with their computer.
