1. A method comprising: based on one or more collected information items, determining whether or not a condition related to a mobile device is true; andcontrolling a monitored application of the mobile device in response to the determination and according to usage patterns of the monitored application to perform at least one of: activating the monitored application;shutting down the monitored application;activating a feature of the monitored application;deactivating a feature of the monitored application; andswitching the monitored application from a first mode of operation to a second, different, mode of operation. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more information items comprise at least one of: Cell ID information;connectivity information to a wireless communication network;roaming information;time-related information;date-related information;accelerometer information; andGlobal Positioning System (GPS) data. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the switching comprises: switching a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver of the mobile device into a mode selected from the group consisting of: operational mode, standby mode, and shut-down mode. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion; andif the mobile device is not in rapid motion, turning off a navigation application of the mobile device. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: if the mobile device is roaming, disconnecting a wireless data link of the mobile device. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion; andif the mobile device is in rapid motion, activating the monitored application. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein determining whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion comprises: comparing among two or more consecutive measures of data items indicating location of the mobile device. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion; andif the mobile device is not in rapid motion, and if a remaining power level of the mobile device is below a threshold value, switching the monitored application into a reduced-power mode of operation. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising: based on a plurality of Global Positioning System (GPS) readings, determining that the mobile device is not in motion;presenting a notification that the monitored application is to be automatically shut-down unless a user of the mobile device selects to avoid shut-down of the monitored application; andif the user of the mobile device does not select, within a pre-defined time period, to avoid shut-down of the monitored application, then shutting down the monitored application. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprises a device selected from the group consisting of: a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) device, a smart-phone, a Portable Navigation Device (PND), a mobile route guidance device, a mobile mapping device, a mobile traffic updates device, a portable audio player, a portable video player, and a portable audio/video player. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the monitored application comprises a Location-Based Service (LBS) application. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the monitored application comprises an application selected from the group consisting of: a route-guidance application;a dynamic route-guidance application;a navigation application;a mapping application;a traffic updates application;an application having a relatively high power consumption;a processing-intensive application;an application having a relatively high consumption of resources of the mobile device;an application which automatically refreshes data using a remote server; andan application which periodically refreshes data using a remote server. 13. A mobile device comprising: a monitoring module to determine, based on one or more collected information items, whether or not a condition related to the mobile device is true, and, to control a monitored application of the mobile device in response to the determination and according to usage patterns of the monitored application to perform at least one of:activating the monitored application;shutting down the monitored application;activating a feature of the monitored application;deactivating a feature of the monitored application; andswitching the monitored application from a first mode of operation to a second, different, mode of operation. 14. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the one or more information items comprise at least one of: Cell ID information;connectivity information to a wireless communication network;roaming information;time-related information;date-related information;accelerometer information; andGlobal Positioning System (GPS) data. 15. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the monitoring module is to switch a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver of the mobile device into a mode selected from the group consisting of: operational mode, standby mode, and shut-down mode. 16. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the monitoring module is to determine whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion;, and if the mobile device is not in rapid motion, the monitoring module is to turn off a navigation application of the mobile device. 17. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein if the mobile device is roaming, the monitoring module is to disconnect a wireless data link of the mobile device. 18. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the monitoring module is to determine whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion; and if the mobile device is in rapid motion, to activate the monitored application. 19. The mobile device of claim 18, wherein the monitoring module is to determine whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion by comparing among two or more consecutive measures of data items indicating location of the mobile device. 20. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the monitoring module is to determine whether or not the mobile device is in rapid motion; and wherein if the mobile device is not in rapid motion, and if a remaining power level of the mobile device is below a threshold value, then the monitoring module is to switch the monitored application into a reduced-power mode of operation. 21. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the monitoring module is to determine, based on a plurality of Global Positioning System (GPS) readings, that the mobile device is not in motion; to present a notification that the monitored application is to be automatically shut-down unless a user of the mobile device selects to avoid shut-down of the monitored application; and if the user of the mobile device does not select, within a pre-defined time period, to avoid shut-down of the monitored application, to shut-down the monitored application. 22. The mobile device of claim 13, wherein the mobile device comprises a device selected from the group consisting of: a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) device, a smart-phone, a Portable Navigation Device (PND), a mobile route guidance device, a mobile mapping device, a mobile traffic updates device, a portable audio player, a portable video player, and a portable audio/video player. 23.
