As far as verifying cpu speed, the Checkup application by Server-Corporation, will test the cpu, memory, and nand storage read / write speeds, as well as gps and accelerometer accuracy. You could also run Mobile Terminal with the "sysctl hw.cpufrequency" command, in order to check the cpu clock speed. Although, I'm not sure if it actually tests the speed or just looks at the model number to find the speed. That said, I'd recommend testing it prior to any mods with Checkup, then reboot after any mods, and test again.

Best of luck,

thanks,

Yeah that's the data I had gathered, we're looking to see if we can build/find a ROM dumping tool and basically trying to cook someting with a modified clock speed and some other features.

It's not easy, but I hate that there are like 5 devs on teh planet who are really developing for iPhone with unlocks and jailbreaks and the rest of us sit here waiting.
