It should of course be noted that normally the code should react just
to user (and network) events, not poll like above because on a device
with the battery that is extremely bad coding.
The above example is *really* meant only for the case when you have
some computation going which allows the main loop to be run occasionally
so that GUI events (like animation) can be processed.
