Schmidt speaks at Web 2.0. Lots of Apple-related nuggets.
Quick rundown for the time-challenged:

  • NFC support as Android apes Apple on ‘iWallet’
  • Android is for touch, Chrome OS for netbooks
  • I said there wouldn’t be a Nexus Two, not that there would never be a Nexus S
  • Gingerbread is coming
  • Google will be leaving it up to third-party applications developers to create NFC apps (sold via the oh so secure Android store)
