It will be an embedded application. I'm not sure about whether it will

No to both questions. We record it and give them the video and
slides. They'll fix them up together into a single app and then take
orders from people at the venue. They'll take care of the logistics and
shipping.

They don't expect a min. no. of sales. We'll negotiate the price if we
agree that this is useful.
