With end of July 2010 support for Oracle 10g Release 2 ends. You can order (at additional costs of course) so called extended support to get support until July 2011. After this date there is so called “Sustaining Support” which offers support for several more years.
Update: I was told the first year of Extended Support is free of charge (Thanks Martin!). So customers have a little bit more time to test and upgrade.
See the following picture for the support end dates:
So if you start with new projects i´d strongly recommend to use Oracle 11g Release 2 at best or if 11g R2 is not an options 11g R1.
I believe extended support for 10gR2 is free for the 1st year to all existing support customers.
Hello Mr. Egner,
the first year of extended support for 10gR2 (until July 2011) is free of charge. So, customers have a little more time to upgrade.
Best regards,
Martin

Yes. Oracle offered 1 year free support for Oracle 10g rel.2. What about Oracle APPS 11i. I think support of 11i was already ended. Do you know?
Sorry, i dont know about 11g Apps.
