Text to Speech would be awesome but I would put it down as a 'nice to have'.

Also, please bear in mind that there has been no substantive research to say that any of those education toys actually educate. In fact, it could be argued that they inhibit or at best just occupy time.

You are quite right that there is no substantive research.

However there are people like Seymour Papert who seem to have done some good work in the field. I can recommend his book Mindstorms.
