We ventured all the way across town during evening rush hour yesterday to check out the latest holiday goods from a slew of tech companies at Pepcom's annual Holiday Spectacular. We saw Treos, SpongeBob iPod speaker docks, flying RC Tinkerbell toys, and so much more.

Check out some of our favorites, after the jump.

Expresso Bike: Like riding bikes but hate all that fresh air and scenery? The Expresso Upright and Recumbent bikes are claimed to be "the first and only Web-enabled cardiovascular exercise machines to engage and immerse riders using the latest interactive technology." The bikes offer 30 virtual courses and come with a 17- or 19-inch LCD monitor. Prices range from $5,145 to $5,295.

HP: HP's snazzy new HDX X18-1020US is an 18.4-inch media-centric notebook. It comes with NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics, two 250GB hard drives, and a standard LightScribe Blu-ray drive.

N-Power: SpongeBob SquarePants Eyeball Speaker Dock. Equal parts cool and creepy, this $39.99 speaker dock comes with a pair of rocking and rolling eyeballs.

Palm: The ultra-popular Centro next to its new cousin, the Treo Pro. The Pro offers one-touch Wi-Fi, integrated GPS, and a world phone. The device will be available for a suggested $549.

PetNovations: The PetNovations rep who spoke with me must have uttered the word "poop" two dozen times during his pitch. In his defense, the guy was trying to sell me on his high-tech cat litter box, the CatGenie. This $329 device washes and dries its proprietary litter--and flushes itself automatically.

RIM: RIM showed off the first-ever Blackberry flip phone. The Pearl Flip 8220 is a quad-band EDGE smartphone with a SureType QWERTY keyboard, built-in Wi-Fi, and a number of other standard Blackberry features.

Samsung: The M540 features a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, access to Sprint TV, a 2-megapixel camera, and expandable memory up to 16GB. It will be available later this year.

WowWee: The consumer robotics company showed off a slew of familiar robotic faces, like the Tri-bot and Femisapien. The newest product is this Tinkerbell Easy Flier. She's light and durable, with the same dual-wing design as WowWee's Dragonfly and runs off three AAA batteries. Find her this fall for around $40.
