Where are people hearing this from and how ..? I watched it live and saw him peak at 729 MPH ...

Straight off the Red Bull Stratos website, "BAUMGARTNER REACHED AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 1,342.8 KM/H (MACH 1.24) JUMPING FROM THE STRATOSPHERE, WHICH WHEN CERTIFIED WILL MAKE HIM THE FIRST MAN TO BREAK THE SPEED OF SOUND IN FREEFALL AND SET SEVERAL OTHER RECORDS* WHILE DELIVERING VALUABLE DATA FOR FUTURE SPACE EXPLORATION."

1,342.8 km/h = 834.4 mph = Mach 1.24

I guess they didn't know his exact speed until they got the data off his suit.
