Is there a PDA that can play an MP3 file and adjust its tempo during playback? Or, is there software for a PDA platform (Windows Mobile or Palm) that can do this? I'm looking for a PDA that can playback lecture recordings that are MP3 format and that can speed them up or slow them down on-the-fly. A bookmarking feature for the MP3's would be nice also.

I'm 99% sure I found it on metafilter, but my google-fu fails me. I'm looking for the video of several Improv/Pranksters singing to their professor in a vaguely opera style.

It is a very simple question. Can anyone identify the speaker in the beginning and during some of the songs on Choking Victim's album No Gods No Managers? I have no info on him, and I really enjoy some of the points made and would like to know who it is.
