Also newer iphone has a different proceesor (armv7 vs armv6). Im the past apps were compiled for both. Apple stopped making armv6 frameworks with 4.3 (all devices were armv7). Apps, with the latest xcode are armv7 only (i hear there's workarounds, but, seriously)..
So copying a framework/app from a new firmware wont work because the armv6 processor won't "understand" the code. Its like copying mac apps or frameworks to an iphone and expecting it to work. 2 diifferent os (mac os x vs ios) and proceesors (intel vs armv6/7). Same goes for new firmwares (4.2 vs 6.0, armv6 vs armv7). Now in theory someone could make a code emulator (like rosetta, mac ppc to intel) but seriosuly, that is super hard, and the devices probably wouldnt be able to run it anyways, considering ios4 performance on 2nd gen devices :P
