Not really the same as what we saw in the book/movie 1984, but a little more helpful. Sprint Nextel has said it will be offering Microsoft a user-locale based search program to make finding shops/etc locally easier. By using the location of the cell phone relative to nearby antenna it can give users more relavent results. Couple this with the use of voice recognition technology, where a person need only say "beer" to find a convenience store for example, and you're onto a winner. Probably.
This all depends on the area the user is in, so some places will be better than others. If they could also link this to navigation guide you be going that one step further.
