LiteOn IT Skyla Memoir Photo Frame (Domestic Goddess/God, Under $500)

We love it when something so obvious and so useful that no one ever bothered to think of it suddenly appears. The first entry in LiteOn's new Skyla line of products is the Memoir, a digital photo frame. Big whoop, right? Well this one also brings photo-scanning magic to the game?pop a 4 x 6 print in the slot at the base and push a button, and it'll scan it at up to 600 DPI and throw the photo onscreen. Scanned photos are stored in its 1-gigabyte (GB) of internal memory, but there's also a USB port for backing scans up to a PC. It's due in stores in December, so should just squeeze under the gift-buying deadline.
