I have an iP4 which I love and will probably keep going for years yet.
It pains me to know that apple will drop it before it gives up the ghost.

iOS 6 works on my iPhone 3GS (from 2009) except for various features that don't, because they require newer hardware (like Siri - there's a dedicated DSP on the SoaC processor die to make that work). I don't expect iOS 7 to work on it.

But there are iPod Touches for that sort of money, which as I understand it is basically an iPhone without the phone part. But if I buy an iPod Touch 1, does that mean I get a 5 year old version of Safari? That's probably not going to be representative. Or do Apple keep their older devices up to date so I'd get the latest greatest HTML5 compatible browser on a 5 year old device?
Any other suggestions?

Not sure but iPod touch 1 will be basically an iPhone 3G not sure iOS 6 will run on it, be slow if it did.
iOS 7 beta should be available today!
