Default Atomic Time On a Mobile Phone? It's About Time!
http://news.com.com/Cell+phones+could+keep+atomic+time/2100-7337_3-5330743.html?part=rss&tag=5330743&subj=news.7337.5

"Atomic clocks may be headed into cell phones, thanks to a breakthrough by federal researchers. Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated the heart of an atomic clock that's believed to be a hundredth the size of any other atomic clock, NIST said Monday. The development opens the door to more precise timekeeping in portable, battery-powered devices for secure wireless communications, more precise navigation and other applications, according to NIST."

An atomic clock in your mobile phone? Sweet! I for one have never figured out why not all operators support network-based time. I wonder though, how the atomic clock will be aware of time zones?
