Can Apple bump 2G/3G Clock speed?

[firewood]

Actually, as it is now, the iPhone's processor is underclocked.

This is pure speculation. Samsung does make a similar looking 600 MHz part, as well as slower parts, and there is no published information saying which bin of parts Apple is buying from. They might have negotiated a great price on some middle bins which have much higher yields. The overclockers might have just gotten lucky with a fast part on a cold day.

It's real because you asked that.

It's not real. If there was an easter egg in iTunes to overclock the iPhone... it would be all over this forum and 100 posts per day about it.

It's clocked down probably to extend battery life.

Well, we all know how successful that idea was!

They won't give you a free upgrade to better-performing hardware. They won't upclock.

But if it comes to making OS 3.0, or 4.0 for that matter, running smoothly on the older models, wouldn't they?

I mean we all know that SJ hates nothing more than a tarnished image and index fingers... probably he hates 'buttons' more.. cant be sure! {:

I think they should offer 485gHz as an option requiring a restart.

Well, Mac OS 4 was the first to not be able to run on the original Macintosh... who's to say that iPhone OS 4 won't be the first not to run on the original iPhone?
