Phone GPS, in my experience, really doesn't. It is inaccurate, oftentimes 100ft off, and certainly drains battery faster than just about anything else.
What part of it works, on a phone, for applications such as these? Or were you just saying, in general, GPS technology does work?
I think GPS inaccuracy was the #1 reason Foursquare beat Gowalla. Gowalla used to enforce strict accuracy on check-ins and it rarely registered you in the place you were at.
