It would be nice if one could listen directly in the browser, maybe using the <audio>-tag and an .ogg version?

Have you tried App Inventor for Android? Really easy to get started with and you get an actual application that can be used on a phone. Very encouraging and inspirational.

I agree. The mouse speed has to be altered. It's frankly horrible. I've been using osx now for about 5 years and I'm still not friends with the mouse pointer on my laptop. (On my iMac I don't have the same issues for some reason) I hate using the trackpad, it actually weariers my wrists.

I think I use USB overdrive on my iMac which might explain why I don't have the same problem with it. Or it might just be that I use a Razor-mouse.
