         2 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the use data comprises location data based at least in part on past uses of the mobile computing device at a location. 
     
     
         3 . The mobile computing device of  claim 2 , wherein the use data comprises route data indicative of a route traveled by the mobile computing device a plurality of times. 
     
     
         4 . The mobile computing device of  claim 2 , wherein the use data comprises point of interest data indicative of a point of interest visited by the mobile computing device. 
     
     
         5 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the use data comprises data uploaded to or downloaded from a remote server computer. 
     
     
         6 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the use data comprises application data indicative of a plurality of applications downloaded from a remote server computer. 
     
     
         7 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the use data comprises device power data indicative of an approximate time of day the device has been powered up and/or powered down. 
     
     
         8 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the present condition data comprises location data representing a present location of the device. 
     
     
         9 . The mobile computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the present condition data comprises a route currently being traveled or point of interest data indicating a point of interest in the present proximity of the mobile computing device. 
     
     
         10 . The mobile computing device of  claim 8 , wherein the present condition data comprises traffic data indicative of traffic along a route indicated by the past usage data. 
     
     
         11 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the present condition data comprises data indicating that a predetermined time period has ended or that a predetermined distance has been traveled by the mobile computing device. 
     
     
         12 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the function comprises providing a notification to a user of the device. 
     
     
         13 . The mobile computing device of  claim 12 , wherein the notification comprises text displayed on a display coupled to the processing circuit. 
     
     
         14 . The mobile computing device of  claim 1 , wherein the function comprises adding a phone number to a list. 
     
     
         15 . A mobile computing device, comprising:
 a processing circuit configured to access historical data for the mobile computing device, the historical data comprising data associated with a usage pattern of the mobile computing device, the processing circuit configured to access location data for the mobile computing device, the location data indicating a current location of the mobile computing device, the processing circuit configured to provide a notification to the user of the mobile computing device based at least in part on the historical data and the location data.   
     
     
         16 . The mobile computing device of  claim 15 , wherein the processing circuit is configured to determine a predicted location for the mobile computing device based on historical data.
