Onkyo has just rolled out their latest digital picture frame. The model is the LPF10M01 and its expected to come available on August 6th at which time it will sell for ¥19,800 (around $225 US). Of course, as you can likely guess by the pricing, the LPF10M01 is headed for the Japanese market, at least initially. But before you write this one off as just another digital frame that much of the world will never see available, read on.

First and foremost, the Onkyo LPF10M01 is a 10.1 inch picture frame. The display has a resolution of 1024 x 600, a 500:1 contrast ratio and is LED backlit in nature — think netbook. Plus the frame comes touting a 140 degree horizontal viewing angle and 110 degree vertical viewing angle.

So far its looking fairly interesting, a decent size display, and as you can see from the above image, the frame itself is sporting a nice clean design and is available in two colors — black and white. Oh, and there is also the remote control, which from personal experience is fairly standard fare with digital picture frames.

Other features include 512MB of internal memory, a USB port and memory card support for SD, SDHC and Memory Stick cards.

Oh and, there is also the HDMI input. Yes, HDMI input which would allow the frame to not only be used as a frame to display images from the internal memory or external storage options — but it can also be used as a secondary display. Granted its a small secondary display. But sitting alongside your primary monitor it would be a decent size for something along the lines of your email client, Twitter app or something along those lines.

Sadly though, at least for now this one is heading only to Japan. Though for around $225 I would be glad to make this purchase. Of course, I am already a fan of digital picture frames so there is little convincing needed in that respect.
