The latest iDevices probably can handle v3.2, and Jim O'Connor's team are looking into it.  
Maybe, maybe not, but updates have a habit of retaining customers for future products. With 2.6 on the app store, the update they pushed supported the retina display, but didn't go into adding different settings, which is what some of the complaints have been presented about it. That's probably a reason people won't buy it when they see it. Well, it's not been updated in two years, and goes for a relatively high price. Why would interested people buy it? They see reviews and see the app doesn't have, and most likely ever get, features they'd want. Sales don't increase that way. Lack of marketing doesn't help either.

That's why there are updates to apps, that don't add to the price for future buyers, or additional costs for upgrading already purchased products. I mean, look at what your updates have done. If it wasn't helping sales, and it's adding development time/costs, would you still be doing it?
