Lyve Minds, the personal media startup founded by former Apple (S AAPL) exec Tim Bucher, is opening up pre-orders for its Lyve Home device on April 22nd, according to a newsletter sent out to subscribers Tuesday. Lyve Home, which helps to back up photos and synchronize them across your devices, will sell for $300, and the company just previewed some of its functionality in a stylish new YouTube video.

Both companies are set to announce the partnership later this week at CES in Las Vegas. LyveHome also uses a hard drive from Seagate, (S STX) which is a strategic investor in Lyve Minds.
