As you may be aware iPhone 3G was withdraw by Apple about 3 years ago. Nevertheless, iPhone 3G owners need not discard their phones since they can now download legacy versions of apps for iPhone 3g that no longer support their device. Apple has now given option to the owners of original iPhone to install the "last compatible version" of an app in their device. So in case you are stuck at iOS 4.2.1, but the application you want to install requires iOS 4.3 to work, you can now download the 4.2.1 version of that app. Therefore, people with original iPhone can now retain their older device even longer than before. However, this does not mean you will have access to every app in the App Store. It will only work with apps that originally supported your current version of iOS.
