I won't put quicktime on this machine, so I haven't seen the video. Do they mention the speed of the processor in the video? I'm suspicious of the actual processor speed since it wasn't mentioned in the coverage I saw of the event, and it's not mentioned here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

They don't mention the frequency at any point, only that it's an A4. Notice that they don't say anything about RAM either.

Have Apple ever revealed those specifics publicly, for any revision of the iPhone?

I'm not sure if they even revealed the previous iPhones were ARM-based in their marketing materials.

On the tech specs page, it says that the A4 in the iPad runs at 1GHz.

They always remind me of Rolls Royce in that respect, merely asserting that 'adequate power is available'.

I think the interesting thing is where they go from here. Apple being Apple, perhaps we'll have two years of iPhone 4 whilst they get the next OS X ready, plus probably a big rollout of iPhone 4 tech into the iPad next year.

Two years from now, it'd be nice to see displays on both sides of the phone, stereo cameras for free space gesture recognition and some kind of high bandwidth peripheral bus like Wireless USB3.

Now that would be the future!

Wikipedia cites the A4 CPU at a max speed of 1GHz.
