I find it interesting that I've had a physical 'Talking Tom' (as in, a 15 inch tall plastic cat in a pose on its hind legs with a keypad for a chest) for at least 2 years. And no idea it was an app. It cost about $5 in a local market. Pressing #9 on the keypad allows lagged realtime speech playback (from whatever it hears) accentuated in tone and speed. For the tactile touch, the physical one is great for young kids.
