Ipad Apps not available for original Ipad

Question

I own an original Ipad. I am a photographer and have discovered that many apps are not compatible with my Ipad but only the Ipad 2. Apple should address this issue and require app designers to make them compatible for both the original and Ipad 2. The original Ipad owners made the Ipad 2 more successful and Apple should support us being able to purchase all apps for our Ipads. This is only fair.
I own two Macbook Pros, one new Mac Pro, two iphones and two ipads. I am a great supporter of Apple and they need to support us.

...Apple can make the app developers do whatever they want. They can require all apps be compatible with both ipads. But I think you know this.
Yes, in fact many developers already complain that Apple already forces them to modify their apps.  Note how many developers complain that their apps are rejected, thus requiring changes to the app.
But Apple also wants to sell more iPads and iPhones.  So Apple could also force developers to make a camera based app only work with camera based devices.  Oh, wait, they seem to already do that.   Or perhaps it only applies to "photographers". But then, you would think that a "photographer" would want to sell their non-camera iPad1 and get an iPad2.  (I'm a photographer and I know I want an iPad2, although I'm quite satisfied with my iPad1.  But then, I also prefer to edit my pics while sitting at my computer rather than the iPad since, as a photographer, I already have an array of editing tools on the Mac and PC.)
Don't blame Apple for making a better iPad that actually will fit your needs better.  Go get an iPad2 and be happy rather than whine and try to prove you're right, which you are not.  (And if you're going to complain that you can't afford it, then as anyone else will tell you, sell your iPad1.)
(And you of course will want the last word, so I will end here since it does not appear that you are not being open minded and refuse to even consider any other viewpoint.)
