In case you missed it there's 9 minutes on MSL (actual hardware visible) + 5 minutes with Dr Elachi on "This week in Space" there: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
14 minutes out of 23 regarding Unmanned, not bad.

Covers over R and F Hazcam's will deploy before the end of Sol 0, but that's about it ( not going to command a mast deployment until the state of the vehicle is known )

Sol 1 - more rover checkout

Sol 2 - Mast deploy, first panorama

Sol 3 - Targeted remote science, first HGA use.

Should be good to drive by Sol 4. All that will be required for that first drive is to steer front and rear wheels straight - they are turned 'in' slightly to be stowed under the descent stage.
