Absolutely. Take a look at the market being targeted by Location Based Services. The most quoted sample use for it is that you store in your preferences, "Notify me whenever I'm within 0.2 miles of a Starbucks." Your phone can not only notify you, but Starbucks can provide you with a coupon for $0.50 off any coffee of $5 or more. *smirk* Being able to print out a coupon would certainly be helpful.

You might also want to find the best 4 star steak restaurant within 20 miles of your current location. If you need a map or driving directions to get from point A to point B, isn't it much easier to read and later reference a piece of paper, rather than a phone that keeps turning itself off to save power? Sure, we're talking about absolute luxuries here, but that's what the United States is all about! Stuff you don't need but have to buy!
