[Marketing] Pictures of XO-1 in tablet mode needed

[Sean DALY]

James,

I'm sorry, i don't have any visuals like that on hand

It's quite difficult to get a decent shot of a kid and an XO and be
able to see what's on the screen. Over-the-shoulder shots might be
best.

The XO-2 and XO-3 are concepts and in those visuals screens were
probably added after the initial shoot.
