[Marketing] Vivitar announces MSRP of under $150 USD for XO tablet

[Sean DALY]

the key selling point of the XO tablet is the parental controls / safe
environment, parents don't want little kids on the open Internet or
even on a tablet which has big brother's shoot-em-up apps or Mama's
address book data a couple of finger pokes away
