I don't remember the specific date, but I bought it specifically for doing iOS development. In any case, the fact remains that it is iOS hardware that won't get an update. Will the iPhone 3g be upgradeable forever?

No hardware is upgradable forever; that's an absurd standard that no one is expecting.

The fact remains that Apple consistently provides 2-3 years of updates, for their phones, whereas even new Google-branded Nexus phones are in some cases getting cut out of updates in less than one year.
