Last night, while I was looking at the monsoon blowing just outside the heat-island... in my open-top jeep... I had an application idea: GPS based weather feeds.

on a schedule/when you move into a new area, the phone will go out to a server and retrieve the weather information for the area you're in.

being able to glance at the today screen and see up-to-date weather data would be nice


What you suggest are what people call Location Based Services and there's plenty of ideas for such things.

Find local services, taxi, food, hotel.

Warn of weather.

Local news.

Have a read:
