• Clock – Why can’t the time zone for my clock be set automatically to which time zone I’m in.
  • Weather – I want the default display to be the weather of my current location.

    At least as of 3.0, the iPhone clock does adjust its time zone setting automatically. I don't know if it uses GPS location services or if it somehow gets the information from the GSM network, but it does it.

    Likewise, OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) now has a Location Services feature built-in (probably based on WiFi access points) and will offer to use it to automatically determine the appropriate time zone.
  • True, I still haven't figured out the correct mental model for the GPS dialog. The default camera app uses GPS but it seems to save your preference for some period of time...
  • I'd agree except do you _really_ want to be clicking the dialog all the time saying it's okay the app uses the location services?
