With iPhone 3.0, websites can snag your location in Safari. Now if you search for something in Google and let it see your location, it'll show you stuff nearby that matches, like coffeeshops here. It's just the beginning, surely. [Google]

From an alleged leaked shot of iPhone firmware 2.2, we see that Apple has tweaked the browser ever so slightly (old version left, new version right). The Google search magnifying glass icon is gone in favor of a separate Google search bar (similar to Safari desktop).

The refresh button is shrunk into the address bar. [iPhone Atlas via Wired]
