Schmidt answered a number of questions relating to Android at this press lunch. Here are some highlights (and time marks). Also answering on the video is Jonathan Rosenberg, senior vice president, product management, at Google.
When will there be an Android phone better than the iPhone.... (Beginning of video)
"You're not familiar with the Samsung Galaxy S?"
Why hardware makers can issue their own flavors of Android.... (1:17 in)
"Our policy is to allow the hardware manufacturers to add what consider to be value added .... it seems to be working .... partners like the fact that they can add value."
On the Android / iPhone battle.... (3:00 in)
"It benefits both companies, because it increases competition, and I think both companies can do very well .... the fact that these things become popular and everybody wants them, means everybody wins."
On how not making any money on Android doesn't matter... (6:12 in)
"We make zero. It's free. That would be the definition of no margin .... I have been surprised at how important Android is to our business, but for none of the reasons that you all [in the media] talk about. It's fundamentally because Android is seen as representative of the new model of computing."

Navigating
You can navigate through this 3D view of the globe in several ways:
Look around
Make sure the Look Around icon is selected in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. If it is selected the bar below the eye will be green.
Then, place one finger on the screen and move it to check out a 360 degree view from that specific point.
If the bar below the eye is not green, this means the Look Around icon is not on, touch it to turn Look Around on.
Pan
Make sure the Look Around icon in the bottom left hand corner of the screen is turned off. This will automatically allow you to enter Pan mode.
Then, place one finger on the screen and drag it in the appropriate direction. You can also 'throw' the view by flicking the screen quickly.
If the bar below the Look Around icon is green, touch it to turn off Look Around mode, and enter Pan mode.
Zoom in
Place two fingers on the screen simultaneously and move them apart OR double tap the screen.
Zoom out
Place two fingers on the screen simultaneously and move them together (pinch).
Tilt
First, make sure Look-around is turned on by touching the Look-around icon. A bar below the eye will change to Green to indicate it is on.
To tilt up, touch the screen and drag downward. To tilt down, touch the screen and drag upward.
My Location
Click on theMenubutton and then selectMy Location. Google Earth will fly you to your location and mark your exact point with a blue dot.
Exit Menu Selection
Once you've made any selections within the menu, you may select the "Back" button to return to the Google Earth viewer.
Reset to North-Up View
Click the compass in the upper right hand corner of the screen to bring you back to north-up view
When you first start Google Earth for Android, the default view of the earth is straight down. You can tilt the view in order to see a different perspective of the area you are exploring. You can tilt a full 360 degrees, which provides a view of the horizon.
To tilt your screen, touch the Look-Around icon and ensure it's enabled. To tilt up, touch the screen and move down. To tilt down, touch the screen and move up.
Searching for Places or Businesses
Search
You can search for locations by touching the Menu button and choosing the Search icon.
Then, to Search for a place or a business enter your search terms (e.g. "pizza in San Francisco", "Weitchpec, CA", "1600 Pennsylvania Ave Washington DC", "Brazil").
If your search returns multiple results, Google Earth for Android displays icons for each. Touch the appropriate icon to fly to your desired location.
Clear search results
Go to the Menu and then select Clear Search Results. Touch Clear History.
This prevents previous searches from appearing as suggestions in the search box and clears current search results.
Tip - If you are flying somewhere after you touch a search result, touching the screen stops the motion.
Displaying Content
You can display enhancing geographic content within your viewing area. This includes Places, Businesses, Panaramio (Photos), Wikipedia, Borders and Labels, and Terrain.

From the Menu button select Layers. You can select and deselect a layer by touching the check-box to the right of the layer name.
Once you have enabled this content, you can touch the corresponding icons in the main view to display more information. Zooming in and out may vary the icons that you see for a given area.
