The smartphone is their; I mean, your GPS tracker for machine learning movement behavior. Voice (various project names), Text (SMS gateways) and Data (CarrierIQ) are just a value added bonus.
I enjoyed the conversation with Alex Stamos (former CSO at Yahoo/FB), where pointed out that had George Orwell been told that people would willingly pay for a tracking device and keep it on them at all times and powered on at all times, he would not have believed it.
I should add, any time I say anything even remotely negative about cell phones, I get beat up here at HN pretty good. This is a very good psychological indication that people have cognitive dissonance and denial around this topic.
