The chairman of the giant behind the Android OS and Chrome OS sketches out Google's mobile future

Eric Schmidt, the chairman of Google, lays out the search giant’s mobile strategy, describing why mobile is so important to Google and how the company intends to further develop its mobile capabilities. Google, of course, is the power behind the wildly successful Android OS — the first successful challenger to the Apple iPhone and iPad — and of the forthcoming Chrome OS for cloud-only laptops.

Watch Schmidt’s speech live here from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona beginning at 11:45 a.m. ET, or replay the speech at any time.
