That may be so but among other things he still represents Nokia who would not want the N900 overclocked.

Not sure what you mean by speed-sorted but i do have concerns as to the heat dissipation capabilities of the processor within the N900 packaging.

More than willing if someone writes an app, i would do it myself if had enough coding knowledge.

If i have read the documentation correctly it looks like the Ti OMAP processor is meant to last for at least 5years of Power on Hours (always on) under worst conditions (between -40c and 105c die temp) and at least 11years under normal conditions. It makes sense since these are embedded processors that usually have a long operating lifetime once deployed in industry.
