I do. I wouldn't mind if turning GPS or WiFi on and off weren't something I had to do so often, but they do chew up the G1's battery. So I have to turn them on when I want them, and for that I want as few clicks as possible. > One of the things I like most about Android are the security > features.

Android already has a permission system for such things, and IMO that's all we need. If an app requests permission to turn your GPS on, then you know it might do that; otherwise you know it won't.
