I think the GPS receiver comes "for free" with the phone hardware (the DSP/antenna package).

So, I doubt it, just because it wouldn't add much and would cost significantly more (both in components and battery life).

With this kind of device, you're only online when in wifi, so location-aware services are limited too. i.e. what would you do with the GPS info? Maybe photo tagging?
