I'd like to know how other developers go about supporting older firmwares. I, personally, have an iOS 4.3.3 iPad and iOS 3.1 iPod Touch Gen 2. I develop for those devices and make sure the application works on them both.

The cheapest way was to just keep old phones, etc around. I have a 3.1.2 phone, 4.0 iPod touch that can't do multi tasking, and use them when I have to test edge cases.

I don't think it's reasonable to care about <3.1.2 on the phone shaped devices, or <4.0 on iPads
