I have a first gen iPod touch which is stuck on iOS 3.1.3 or something like that. When I say stuck, I mean iTunes says it's the latest version for my model. I don't know what this jailbreaking malarky is but will it enable me to put iOS 4 on or will I have to upgrade to a new model (which I don't want to do as it still works damn well nearly 5 years on, thanks)?
Am I stuck on iOS 3?

You can do it, But it involves a bit of hacking and custom firmware.
Anyways, It doesn't run all that well on first gen devices, Hence probably why it tops out at IOS 3.

The iPod itself is just fine but more and more apps now say "This app requires iOS version 4".
I don't know of any way to get iOS 4 running on older devices, and I doubt that there is a way as it is so old and the hardware really isn't up to scratch.
You can run whited00r to get iOS 5-like features, but that will not solve your iOS 4 problem.
