Legacy Apps Now Available for Older iPhones, iPods and iPads in the App Store

Some of us have older iPhones, iPods and iPads which will not run newer versions of iOS. Needless to say, newer version of many apps also won’t run on these older devices. That changed today. Apple now lets you access earlier versions of apps for your older hardware.
This is how it works: Select the app you want. If it is incompatible with the iOS version on your device, a prompt will offer you a earlier compatible version of the app.
Interesting move for Apple as they prepare to release iOS 7, which presumably would leave many devices and apps behind but for this change.
