Bad idea IMO - I can think of many occasions I have to put away the phone and still not wanting the speaker to be turned automatically on.

As for a general idea, I think this application is a very good idea, and maybe the speaker on/off can be mapped to a physical key - say, pressing and holding the camera key for 2 or 3 seconds will turn the speaker on or off, according to its current condition...?
Or even a quick screen gesture?
