Now that GPS receivers are becoming ubiquitous in higher-end phones, the push will be to make them more sensitive and less power-hungry so they can be on all the time and keep a continual lock on the current position. That will facilitate location-based services, such as local searches, social networking, "push" micro-scale advertising (integrated with preferences from analyzing email and browsing traffic via the phone), etc.
