Putting People First has a great post linking to the range of toys launched this year based heavily on consumer electronics. Here's a snippet and a few of the links:
Consumer electronics for kids is the fastest growing trend in the $22 billion toy industry. With children becoming ever more tech savvy at ever-younger ages, toymakers are scrambling to capitalize on the rapidly growing market for youth electronics.
