We blogged about a number of particularly cute digital photo frames in the past, but this Hello Kitty model beats them all. Announced in Japan by Sanrio [JP] today (Sanrio is the corporation behind the cartoon cat), the device goes on sale in Nippon on May 31. There will be two variations.

The photo frame has a 7-inch screen (resolution: 480×340) and a built-in speaker, comes with a cute remote control and supports the following media formats: JPEG, MP3, WMA, MPEG-1, and MPEG-2. Users can put up pictures via USB or by inserting CF/SD/SDHC/MMC cards or a memory stick. The frame has 6MB of internal memory.
