GWC 1.2.0 will support WMTS (the version that OGC is voting on now, 
currently only the KVP scheme), so you can grab a nightly if you need it 
now. It'll probably make its way into GS 2.0.1.

Note that WMTS is a pain to configure manually unless you use one of the 
"well known scale sets", and the getcapabilities document for automatic 
configuration is rather verbose. I haven't checked how good the latest 
generation of phones is at parsing XML, can't be too bad since they 
render HTML locally, but it's something to keep in mind.

Couple of other thoughts:
If spherical mercator is sufficient, then you can use any MS Virtual 
Earth (quadkeys) or Google Maps (x,y,z template) compatible client as well.
