Google is making its mobile search even better by introducing Place Pages for Mobile. Place Pages for Mobile allows Android (and iPhone) users to find details of restaurants, businesses, etc. in one simple page. You can get basic info like store hours, pictures, and phone numbers along with the more in-depth details like user reviews, ratings, and tips from different online sources (citysearch, zagat, etc). We tried it out and it’s pretty darn nifty. Since it’s optimized for mobile phones, all information is displayed in an easy-to-read format.

You can try out Place Pages by going to google.com on your Android browser and searching for a restaurant or business. If you click on the local listing results, it’ll take you to its Place Page. How do you guys like it? Think you’ll use it?

Hit the jump to see a video of Place Pages in action!

We just had the opportunity to ask the Jeep crew about the possibility of a second-gen Grand Cherokee SRT8, and while they won’t officially confirm—or, more important, deny—anything, they did allow that when Chrysler creates an SRT version of a new product, you can generally expect it to appear within the first couple of model years after introduction. We’d call that pretty solid confirmation that America will once again be pumping out bad-ass SUVs within the next couple of years.

Under the hood, expect a 6.4-liter naturally aspirated Hemi; output has been reported as being between 505 and 525 hp, but we have a sneaking suspicion it could be even higher. Rumblings suggest that the 555-hp BMW X5 M is squarely in Jeep’s sights, as the brand would be keen to reclaim the title as the world’s quickest production SUV. We tested the X5 M to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, so the 2012 Cherokee SRT8 will need to slice 0.4 second from the outgoing 2010 model’s time to once again be king. Of course, it’s possible that 525 hp would be enough to pull off the feat, but why stop there? If Jeep’s going to do this thing, we say let it all hang out, and trumping BMW’s power figure—from a naturally aspirated engine, no less—would be one fine feather in Chrysler’s cap. With air suspension on the list of available technologies for the regular-grade 2011 Grand Cherokee, we’d expect adjustable air springs to make an appearance in the weapons-grade SRT model, too, imparting even sportier handling than before.

The new 2011 Grand Cherokee’s taut, handsome styling should transfer well to the new SRT model; we just hope the new model keeps the twin, center-mounted exhaust cannons, which were one of our favorite touches on the previous Cherokee SRT8. We loved that SRT8, but we have a feeling we’ll love the upcoming one even more.

Is there room for another mobile browser on smartphones? Actions speak louder than words, so Mozilla is answering that question by releasing its first iteration of the Firefox browser for Android handsets. Fennec, as the browser is known, is in a pre-alpha state, meaning it’s not ready for the general populace. That didn’t stop me from installing it on my Google Nexus One, however, and even in this early stage of the life cycle, Fennec is looking very nice.

Why an alternative browser, though, when the stock Google web browser is already quite good? In a word: Weave. Mozilla’s Weave project synchronizes browsing data between desktop and mobile — bookmarks, saved passwords, browsing history and even open tabs. Using Weave, for example, you could have several tabs open on your desktop in Firefox, walk away, open Firefox on a phone and see the same tabs appear. Google offers a similar feature with its Chrome browser, but Mozilla’s implementation is farther along in the handset space.

I haven’t taken Weave for a spin on Android since it’s highly experimental, but I did use the browser for a bit this morning. For those not familiar with Fennec on a smartphone, Mozilla leverages off-screen space to control bookmarks, open tabs and settings. You can slide the main browsing page left or right to see the controls, which provides access to advanced features on the small screen without cluttering up the browsing experience — a clever implementation that you can see in my screen captures below. There’s currently no support for multitouch zooming or Adobe Flash, however. Fennec on the Nokia N900 originally included support for a Flash plug-in, but Mozilla later pulled it, saying, “The performance of the plugin didn’t meet our standards.”

In this early stage, I wouldn’t recommend that anyone use Fennec as a full-time browser — nor does Mozilla. The code isn’t optimized and performance is sluggish. And this first version requires a phone with some higher-end horsepower — it only works on Android 2.0 devices and up, for example. But it does show promise and if Mozilla can gain traction on the phone with its browser, it could keep more people using Firefox on the desktop thanks to the Weave experience.

What Does the Future Hold For Browsers?

Hurst Performance Vehicles has unveiled a modified Ford Mustang GT convertible that will serve as the pace car for this year’s Ford Racing Mustang Challenge series. The car debuted last weekend at the series’ second race at Virginia International Raceway. This car is purely for pace-car duties and won’t be offered to customers, although Hurst will sell pinewood derby skins that replicate the Mustang’s looks.

The Mustang packs numerous performance upgrades from Ford Racing. A supercharger, stainless-steel exhaust, and K&N air filter bump the V-8’s output to a claimed 550 hp and 542 lb-ft of torque. The car also gets a coil-over suspension and 14-inch brake discs with four-piston calipers, again from Ford Racing.

The Mustang’s exterior wears Hurst’s trademark gold-on-black paint scheme as well as pace car graphics and a Hurst decklid spoiler. The 20-inch Hurst aluminum wheels have gold accents and wear BFGoodrich T/A tires. Inside is a black leather interior with embroidered Hurst logos and Hurst-branded floor mats. And, of course, there’s the requisite Hurst shifter topped with a black T-shaped handle

After the race season wraps up, the Mustang pace car will tour muscle-car shows, dealerships, and the SEMA show in November. Next January, the car will be auctioned to benefit the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric Cancer, a charity that supports children with cancer.

GM has announced it will invest $890 million into various powertrain facilities that will produce a new generation of small-block V-8 engines. The engines will feature aluminum blocks, direct injection, and a new combustion system design (about which we’ve been given no details). It will mark the first time that direct injection has been used on GM V-8 engines. Many of the company’s V-8s have already switched to aluminum, with only a handful of truck, van, and SUV engines still employing cast-iron blocks.

The company claims the new generation of engines will offer “unprecedented” increases in fuel economy and will be E85-capable. Displacement, power, and fuel economy figures aren’t yet available.

We’re told the engines won’t actually debut for some time, but when they do, we can expect to see them in the same vehicles that employ the current generation of small-block V-8s. Our educated guess is that variants of the new engines will be offered across GM’s lineup: full-size trucks and SUVs as well as performance cars like the Corvette, Camaro, and CTS-V.

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is still reeling from having to delay its latest smartphones based on concerns that the latest Symbian platform is not ready for prime time.

But that didn’t stop the Finnish handset-maker from unveiling the specs for the first phone, which is now due about three months late and will ship in the third quarter of this year. The phone, which will be available in select markets, will cost $493 (Euro 370).

The smartphone packages together some of the highest end hardware components with some of Nokia’s typical content and services, such as an app store, social networking and navigation.

The phone has a 12 megapixel camera with Nokia’s signature Carl Zeiss lens with a flash and a large sensor (found in compact digital cameras). The camera also comes HD-ready, so that videos can be shot and watched in high definition. The phone also comes preloaded with links to videos from media companies, such as CNN, E! Entertainment, Paramount and National Geographic. Users will be able to download additional content and applications for Nokia’s Ovi Store.

While the Symbian^3 OS has been delayed, Nokia still trumpeted the platform’s attributes, including support for multi-tasking, multi-touch, pinch-zooming and the ability to personalize multiple homescreens with apps and widgets. The OS is expected to provide a badly needed update to Nokia’s previous user interface, which was considered slow and not very easy to use. So far, in early glimpses of the UI, it largely looks the same, so the key will be in performance enhancements.

T-Mobile has announced that it will pull the 5 gigabyte-per-month cap on its mobile broadband service, part of an effort to push its HSPA+ network, which can deliver data speeds of up to 21 Mbps down. So is real competition coming to the wireless industry, or is this the end of flat-rate mobile broadband? I think it’s both.

T-Mobile has changed its mobile data pricing plan to cut overage charges for customers of its 200 MB plan in half, and remove them entirely for customers who pay $59.99 per month (or $49.99 per month without a contract) for the 5 GB plan.

The move is aimed at signing up customers in an increasingly competitive mobile broadband market. After all, Clearwire, Sprint and the cable companies are already selling WiMAX, which can deliver up to 6 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up, and Verizon is prepping for the launch of its LTE service during the fourth quarter of this year. AT&T will follow with LTE in 2011.

All of which is good for consumers, but at least as far as T-Mobile’s lifting of its 5 GB-per-month cap, there’s a catch: go past that limit, and download speeds will slow. T-Mobile tries to play down such a caveat, however, saying: “When used as a mobile broadband solution in conjunction with an existing home broadband service, only a very small number of customers use more than 5GB per month.”

But going forward, that number will only rise, as consumers are downloading ever more data, especially to watch video. So wireless providers, which have limited spectrum and a demand curve that resembles a steep uphill climb, are re-evaluating how they charge for mobile broadband (GigaOM Pro, sub req’d). The end of the flat-rate pricing is coming (GigaOM Pro) and the jury is still out as to how carriers will implement new options (GigaOM Pro).

T-Mobile’s decision to slow speeds after a user hits 5GB per month is likely an answer to Clearwire’s unlimited mobile broadband offering, while also protecting the carrier for overloading its cellular network with a corresponding policy change. And as the next generation of wireless networks hit the market, such plans will become increasingly common.

Motorola’s Droid is the most used Android handset on the AdMob network — with 32 percent of traffic — so it might appear that Google’s Android fragmentation issues are over. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, according to the March metrics report from AdMob, which tracks smartphone usage through ads it provides mobile application developers — Android use on the AdMob network continues to be split fairly evenly among devices running three different versions of the OS. Such fragmentation challenges consumers and developers alike, as apps that run on one Android device may not run on another and consumers can feel that they’re missing out.

To put the fragmentation issue in perspective: Some 96 percent of all Android traffic on AdMob’s network was generated from just two devices on a single version of the OS in September 2009. Seven months later, that same amount of traffic came from 11 different devices across Android versions 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1, as shown by the AdMob graph below.

With the exception of Google’s Nexus One, carriers and handset makers ultimately control what Android version consumers use — carriers also have a say as to which updates get pushed to phones, so Google can’t upgrade every capable handset to its latest version of Android. And even in the case of the Nexus One, Google is backtracking on its strategy to gain greater control — the once web sales-only phone will be sold directly by Vodafone stores in the UK, while the version Google planned for Verizon Wireless isn’t coming to market after all.

Google has started to take steps to reduce the fragmentation, most recently by creating core applications outside of the base Android platform and making them available for download on both old and new Android handsets. As I pointed out last month, such an effort helps reduce fragmentation on existing handsets because “only the base Android functionality would be in the hands of carriers and handset makers, while third-party developers — and Google itself — would expand Android functionality through downloadable software.”

But Google needs to think about fragmentation when it comes to future handsets as well. Further decoupling of Android’s base functionality from installable software could come with Google’s Froyo and Gingerbread — code names for the next two Android iterations. Froyo is expected to debut in three weeks at a Google developer conference, but given the ultimate lack of control on what Android version a handset runs, a bigger (and totally unexpected) announcement would be Google pulling Android 1.x for new phones. Until Google exerts this type of control or decides to take an Apple-like approach and specifies standard hardware requirements for Android devices, the fragmentation issue is likely to continue.

Here’s a company you should be paying attention to, if you’re not already: Zong, the mobile payments startup, said today it’s raised $15 million in a round led by Matrix Partners and is now fully spun off from Switzerland-based Echovox. Palo Alto, Calif.-based Zong enables mobile payments through both cell phone bills (it has hundreds of direct relationships with carriers) and direct charges to credit or debit cards (to avoid carrier feeds).

Most notably, Zong is Facebook’s mobile payment provider of choice, an enviable position given the popularity of virtual goods on that massive platform. Along with the funding, Matrix General Partner Dana Stalder, a former PayPal exec who led PayPal Mobile as well as the company’s developer platform, will join Zong’s board.

Competitor Boku raised $25 million in Series C funding from DAG Ventures, Benchmark Capital, Index Ventures and Khosla Ventures in January. And of course, there’s a certain eBay-owned company that scoffs at the notion of “PayPal killers.”

Audi is still looking into offering carbon-ceramic brakes on U.S.-market cars, and the prospects look good. Currently, the extra-cost discs are available elsewhere on the R8, as well as on the not-for-our-shores RS6. We’re told to expect the grabbier brakes as soon as the 2011 model year, and our guess is that the R8 will be the first model to benefit. The RS5, which we’ve just sampled, gets optional carbon-ceramics, but only up front. The car has been confirmed for U.S. sale, and should arrive here by the end of 2012—with or without the brakes as an option.

We’ve also learned that the TT RS should eventually arrive here, equipped with the six-speed manual, hopefully before the RS5 lands.

Nokia today unveiled the N8, the first handset from the Finnish company to use both the Symbian 3 operating system and the Qt cross-platform application framework. Although the physical hardware of the N8 is attractive, the Symbian 3 software is more important to Nokia’s future. The company’s falling status as a market leader is largely due to its reliance on an old interface not fully optimized for touch, so Symbian 3 represents Nokia’s best chance to prove that it can still reign atop the smartphone world.

The N8 touchscreen supports multitouch navigation and gestures, the ability to run multiple programs simultaneously and social network status updates directly from the home screen. With a 12-megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics, consumers can use the N8 to create and edit HD-quality video recordings, which can be shared or viewed on a television by connecting the N8 with a cable. Nokia plans to launch the N8 in the third quarter for 370 euros ($492) in select markets.

The N8 marks Nokia’s largest undertaking to recapture lost smartphone market share — which has dropped to 39 percent from over 50 percent just two years ago . Some of that loss has come at the hands of newer mobile operating systems, such as those from Apple (a aapl) and Google. As competitors created new platforms and user interfaces, Nokia relied heavily on its aging Symbian S60 system. The lone smartphone exception is Nokia’s N900, which runs on the Maemo platform — a derivative of Linux.

While the hardware looks stellar on paper — the first images captured with the N8′s camera rival those of a high-quality dedicated digital camera, for example – Nokia is pinning its hope on the software that will power the N8 as well as future Nokia phones. Using the new Symbian 3 platform, Nokia hopes to reverse its market share losses and prove to consumers that it can still reign atop the smartphone world. And by leveraging the Qt environment that it owns, Nokia is also attempting to woo developers to write software for new Symbian 3 devices.

Mobile OSes Are No Longer Just About Mobile

It’s become a cliche at this point, but new stats show 2009 moved at least closer to becoming the fabled year when mobile advertising takes off properly.

Spend on UK mobile ads rose 32 percent from 2008 to £37.6 million ($57.8 million), says the Internet Advertising Bureau UK with PwC.

Mobile is certainly now growing a lot faster than online advertising, which pulled only 4.2 percent more money in 2009, according to the same research partners. But it’s a drop in the ocean compared with the £3.54 billion online commanded…

The detail…

—Search 54 percent of mobile ads: In keeping with online, search ads are the fastest-growing kind on mobile – up 42 percent to £20.2 million.

—Display 46 percent of mobile ads: Display ads (banners, text links, pre-/post-roll and in-game ads) pulled in 24 percent more money at £17.4 million.

—Text messages unfancied: SMS/MMS ads attracted just £1.2 million last year, up 26 percent.

With so much activity in the mobile ads space even since 2009 ended, expect 2010 to be another year of (slightly more) mobile advertising…

Wade Roush wrote:

For Google, it’s been a good news/bad news week. The good news is that the search leader’s open-source Android mobile operating system is catching on fast, with more manufacturers and carriers selling Android-equipped phones and more consumers buying them. The bad news is the story isn’t playing out exactly the way Google planned.

Yesterday the UK’s Vodafone announced that its UK customers will be able to buy Google’s Nexus One Android phone only in Vodafone retail stores, rather than through the Web store Google set up specifically for that purpose. And Google revealed that Verizon, the largest U.S. wireless carrier, won’t be selling the Nexus One at all, and is going instead with HTC’s Droid Incredible.

Today comes another change: Motorola is announcing that its own Android phones, such as the Droid and Cliq, will bypass the free location finding system that Google built into Android and use software from Boston-based Skyhook Wireless instead.

That’s a big win for Skyhook, adding a notch to a belt that already includes Apple’s iPhones and iPad line, Dell notebook computers, and mobile devices from Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, and other manufacturers. It’s also testimony to the open nature of the Android ecosystem, which—in contrast to the iPhone OS—was designed so that manufacturers and developers can swap out pieces of the operating system, such as the location-finding system, if they feel like it. And if, as Skyhook and many mobile developers argue, Motorola’s switch results in more accurate location readings for mobile users, then the move will ultimately benefit consumers as well.

Nonetheless, there’s reason to believe that Google is unhappy about Motorola’s decision. After all, there’s much more at stake than just bragging rights about whose location-finding system is installed in millions of smartphones. If Motorola phones use Skyook’s hybrid GPS-, cellular-, and Wi-Fi-based system to find their locations rather than Google’s own similar technology, it means vast amounts of data about the locations and travel habits of mobile users will go into Skyhook’s databases instead of Google’s. And location data, in the coming era of targeted advertising and location-based search and mobile commerce, will be one of the hottest commodities around.

Motorola is the first phone maker to add Skyhook’s location system to an Android phone. Ted Morgan, Skyhook’s founder and CEO, says Skyhook won Motorola’s business because it was able to persuade the Illinois-based mobile giant that its positioning system—which works in part by measuring signals strengths from nearby Wi-Fi networks and checking in with Skyhook’s continuously updated database of Wi-Fi network locations around the world—is more accurate than Google’s.

“We do side-by-side field tests all over the world and show that in a daily user’s life, this will perform much better,” says Morgan. “Every time you check in on Foursquare, it’s going to pick the right bar; every time you drive, it will pick the right road.”

It also helped, Morgan says, that Skyhook has direct relationships with scores of mobile-software developers who have built location-related apps for the iPhone platform and who say they want Skyhook’s system on Android devices.

“We decided to add Skyhook location to the ‘Movies’ Android App when we realized that it improved our accuracy over the native Android APIs,” said Joe Greenstein, co-founder and CEO of Flixster, in a statement prepared by Skyhook. APIs, or application programming interfaces, define the way different components of an operating system talk to each other; San Francisco-based Flixster has quite a bit of experience dealing with them, as its movie-search service is available on …Next Page »

Mobile payment provider Zong of Palo Alto, Calif. has spun off from its Swiss parent Echovox and has raised $15 million to help pay for its rapid growth, which includes expanding into as many as two countries per month. The second round of capital was led by Matrix Partners.

The company continues to aggressively pursue carrier partnerships so that it has access to even more subscribers, who in turn, can use their mobile phone bills to make virtual good purchases online in social networks or in gaming environments.

Zong is perhaps best known for being the mobile payment provider for Facebook Credits, the virtual currency platform being deployed on the social network. Zong will have to move quickly as it faces steep competition for other well-funded venture that see mobile payments that investors—such as Matrix—are describing as the next PayPal-like opportunity.

Other companies in the space include PayPal, San Francisco-based Boku, which recently raised $25 million, and Paris-based Hi-media, a publicly held company that is bringing its payments platform to the U.S. Zong’s CEO David Marcus said in an interview that Zong currently has 60 employees and will ramp up quickly to 100.

The funding and spinoff mean Zong is now an independent company despite being started by Echovox back in 2008. As part of the investment, Dana Stalder, Matrix’s general partner, will join Zong’s board of directors. Stalder, who worked previously at PayPal, said “Zong clearly has all the attributes to build an industry-leading payment platform.” He said merchants in particular like the service because it increases check-out rates five to ten times better than a bank card, and enables consumers who don’t have credit card to participate in the virtual good economy.

The blog consolidation continues with Mail.com Media’s acquisition of The Boy Genius Report, a top-visited mobile site known for digging up big scoops—while also remaining mysteriously hush-hush about the website owner’s identity.

Along with the sale, Boy Genius revealed his name and story on how he got here: Jonathan Geller, an early-20s gadget fanatic, who owned his first cellphone at at 10, began writing for Engadget at 17 and started his own site back in 2006. Since then, he’s built a mini-media empire that gets roughly one million page views a month and is considered one of the top 50 most influential content sites across all categories.

Mail.com Media has a network of media sites, including Nikki Finke’s Deadline.com, HollywoodLife.com and Movieline.com. Geller will continue as President, Editor-in-Chief, and General Manager of BGR, and will work directly with Mail.com’s Owner Jay Penske. The site’s name will be simplified to BGR.com. In keeping with tradition, Geller has kept one thing off the record: How much Mail.com paid for the site.

In a blog post this evening, Geller details his run-up to success: “As I write this, BGR is, according to Technorati, ranked #49 out of every single site in the world. When I think back about how this was accomplished, and how with just a few great writers, and practically no infrastructure, we built something pretty mind blowing…”

Ground Truth has raised $7 million in a second round of financing after coming out of stealth mode in January.

The Seattle-based company collects data from carriers and other infrastructure companies to see the real traffic logs of the mobile internet, and then sells that data to operators, advertisers, publishers and others. By using a large sample size, the company hopes to have more accurate figures than previously available through other sources, such as surveys and monitoring services.

New investors in the round include Emergence Capital Partners and OPENAIR Ventures. Other participants include Steamboat Ventures and Voyager Capital. The company has now raised a total of $9.6 million.

• Ground Truth Lifts Veil Of Secrecy In Mobile By Mining Carrier Data

Not a good omen for the future of Google’s Nexus One smartphone or Google’s big idea to sell phones directly to consumers: the company is now suggesting that people waiting for the phone to come to the Verizon Wireless network purchase HTC’s Droid Incredible instead, which it describes as a “powerful new Android phone and a cousin of the Nexus One that is similarly feature-packed.”

Both companies are trying to downplay the implications, with Google (NSDQ: GOOG) telling Bloomberg it made the decision because of the “amazing innovation happening across the open Android ecosystem” and Verizon saying, “If they want to do business with us or sell the device, we’re open to that.”

But, because Verizon’s network is so large, many commenters believe Google may be losing its best hope at cutting into the iPhone’s dominance. Already, sales of the phone—which is being sold directly to consumers by Google—had lagged those of the iPhone and Droid during their first months on the market.

Google’s decision to direct consumers to a phone sold directly from Verizon Wireless vs. buying one directly from them without a subsidy also puts into question whether Google can be successful at selling phones for full price without the carriers help. While so-called unlocked phones have fared better in Europe, the model has not taken off in the U.S., where carriers have largely trained consumers to believe phones can be cheap, or heavily discounted.

When the phone launched in January, Google said it would be available at first with a two-year contract from T-Mobile, with similar options from Verizon in the U.S. and Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) in Europe to follow. The Vodafone option is still on, with Google saying that Vodafone will start distributing the phone this Friday. Sprint (NYSE: S) said last month that a version of the Nexus One would be available for its network “soon” as well.
