That's Siri Dictation. It's only on devices with Siri and the iPhone 4 is not one of them. You need to have either an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad mini, or iPod touch 5 to use Siri / Siri Dictation.

I has the mic icon on the 3GS so why can't I get it on my 4?

Its doubtful that 3GS has it, or that if it does somehow that it's not just some sort of a glitch and it doesn't really do anything anyway.

There has to be an app to add the mic because when I has the 3GS my keyboard had the mic!?

If you have it on your 3GS, it must be some kind of jailbreak tweak. I don't think iOS even had dictation before Siri.

C DM is correct, Siri and Dictation is not on the 3GS, even the IP4 couldn't handle it even if you put a jailbroken ver of it.
