A report in this morning's Wall Street Journal indicates that Google will rollout a mobile phone version of Google Maps today. According to the article:

Google... is tailoring some popular Internet services for use on wireless devices. Starting today, for example, consumers using some types of cellphones will be able to access satellite maps wirelessly and scroll through them as they can on the Google Maps service.

This service is going to require Java on the mobile phone and is supposed to work on "more than 100 different cellphone models"

Update: The URL to download Google Local for Mobile is http://www.google.com/glm. It currently supports a bunch of different carriers and handsets, but not Blackberry or Palm handhelds. [ Subscription required to access most content from The Wall Street Journal ]
