LiteOn IT, maker of optical storage solutions for PCs, is releasing its first consumer electronics product under the brand-name Skyla. With the Memoir Scanning Digital Photo Frame you can easily convert your old photos (as long as they're no bigger than 4 by 6 inches) into digital files and display them on the frame.

The frame has 1GB of internal memory for instant playback on the frame's 8-inch display and can play up to 200 4-by-6-inch photos or 400 3-by-5-inch prints. It has an 800 by 600 screen resolution, and offers up to a 600-dpi scanning resolution. To load in your pictures, you just push a button on the side of the frame to open the guider in the front, and then insert a photo. The frame scans it, and leaves you with a sharp digital version.

Another nice feature is its two USB ports for PC/USB flash drive connections, which lets you view digital images on your computer, as well as back up the scanned photos from the internal memory.

The Memoir can also play back MP3, Motion JPEG, MPEG1, and MPEG4 files. It features a clock, calendar, and alarm clock with picture slideshows.

The frame will hit stores in late December, just in time to display all those holiday photos. The Memoir has a suggested retail price of $219.99.
