Tech firms got a jump on the holidays this week in New York where they showed off cool new tech toys they hope will be big hits with gift givers. Here are some of the product highlights from the event sponsored by ShowStoppers.

The Nintendo Wii game console can be notoriously hard to find during the holiday season. One way to get in on some Wii Remote action games without having to fight to buy a Wii is to purchase Jakks Pacific's UltiMotion Swing Zone ($75), a game console system that uses the same type of accelerometer and optical sensor technology that the Wii Remote uses. UltiMotion Swing Zone comes with baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, and football games.
