For example, imagine an application that uses GPS location information to
determine your car's proximity to your favorite grocery store on your way
home. When you get to within 5 miles of the store, your Neo uses the GPRS
to access a personal website page where your spouse keeps a grocery list.
If there are any items on the list, the application downloads the and
alerts you via your bluetooth earbud.

I really like this idea :-)
She must be added on the wiki not to be lost!
One obvious optimisation for where GPRS may be very expensive is to
simply send a SMS, compressed according to a shared database.
ABC = Item 28, 3 of
EGI = Item 187, 10*100ml of.
Some 60 items per SMS, of a list of several hundred is probably suitable
for most people.
In most cases, the fact that you're going past the store is pretty
irrelevant to the need for groceries.
