I would think geolocation would only get better as more people go mobile and their IP address (wifi or 3G) gets pinned to gps coordinates using location aware apps.

Think about how much info google, apple, and others can collect with this, and build a database to sell.

Yeah but those IPs are dynamic and change over time.. Unless the mobile providers (who are often national) restrict IPs to regions, you could have an IP be in one part of the country one week and in another part of the country the next, no?
