I’m in the process of creating a windows mobile 6.5 application. I was at a show yesterday and one system had a web based solution where they could see the GPS location of their PDAs, current battery level and memory status. Are these likley just running a service on the phone that updates somewhere online the current details or is there built in functions for this?

There is definitely no built-in function for this. If the web solution showed one device, then it could potentially be a web server running on each device. If it showed multiple devices, then it mujst be an aggregator running somewhere – likely a server, that communicates with an app on each device to get that information.
The way that communication and update is architected would be limited by the network topology and your imagination – I can think of a few possibilities just offhand – but they definitely aren’t in the platform itself.
