I don't have it on a real device yet, and it's just the shell, no 
applications, which makes this fairly boring so far. So for next week I think 
that's too ambitious and wouldn't make the best impression probably in this 
state.

The next steps are making this easier to replicate and start, run on real 
hardware and add a few applications, then we'd be at something that anyone 
could easily demonstrate I think.
