I only have a 3gs model, but I got successful reports from at least an  
iPod touch user, I'd say the hardware is ok to run Tor, at least as a  
client only: keep in mind the program successfully run as a bridge on  
a 64mb ram chumby one

Yes, iPhone os does not support socks proxies in the network settings.
Said that, I only tested tor with mobile safari so far, don't really  
know if other applications will honor those settings (think so, thought)

Backgrounding itself is completely negligent, what affects the battery  
life are cryptography operations tor will ask the CPU to carry out,
