The rate of uptake will increase dramatically over the next couple of years with GPS receivers dropping significantly in price eg. CellGuide's new ACLYS chip which has reduced the price of including GPS by 70%. http://gpstekreviews.com/2007/12/07/aclys-gps-receiver-chip-70-cost-reduction-breakthrough/ I think mobile ads will pick up with an increase in the proportion of Internet connected mobile devices which have a GPS receiver thereby allowing location awareness to be included in searches.

I was just looking around on Adsense and I haven't been pushed or encouraged to set up a landing page for mobile ads - (which is a huge mistake) as I would prefer to montior my landing page rather than a transcoding page on mobile as Vodafone has killed our blog gomo news via its Novarra transcoder. You are right its quiet but perhaps its the calm before the storm?
