Google CEO Eric Schmidt dropped the info himself.  Could we assume it’ll already be installed in the Nexus S?

In case you’re unfamiliar with NFC, it’s pretty cool tech about to make a big splash on Android, and likely iPhone 5.  Think RFID, but slightly different.  In this instance, you’d connect your credit card with your phone.  Tap the phone to the NFC compliant product and you’ve purchased it, or perhaps found more info.

NFC is not just limited to purchasing.  Imagine using NFC for auto check ins and much more.  Stay tuned, this is good stuff coming.
