You want new, upgraded features, expect to need a new, upgraded device. There are cases of needlessly forced obsolescence to be sure, but Moore's Law -driven open source mobile device tech isn't automatically one of them.

What's annoying, though, is when the app you were happily using is upgraded so that it no longer works with your old device. It makes sense that any spiffy new features (like Scribd audiobooks) need an upgraded app, but if you don't want/need the new features, can't "they" let you still use the old app that works will the old OS?
