Nebula’s Tracks & Tricks looks like something we’d enjoy playing on our Wii, however that’s not nearly as portable as our phone or tablet. Reminds us of Super Track & Field, Mario Kart, and a handful of other titles all blended together. Choose from 5 characters and 24 nationalities from around the globe and earn trophies, prizes, and credits!

HeroCraft’s next game, Ice Rage, looks like it will be a fun one for sure.  The 3D game will feature 20 characters,each with their own special set of skills and traits.  Expect this one to arrive in fourth quarter (Q4 ’12) and offer single and multi-player gameplay.

Popular weather client, WeatherPro HD recently made its tablet-optimized version debut.  Features include worldwide weather alerts for the next three days, widgets and in the notification bar (Premium), transparent widgets, additional formats and new clock and weather widget designs.  Grab it for only $3.99 in Google Play.

Braven has a number of Bluetooth speaker options that might be of interest to you music lovers.  Recommended if you’ve ever considered a Jambox, Supertooth, or other wireless speaker.

We suggest starting with these two models:

  • Braven: 600Small wireless Bluetooth speaker combines superb stereo, ability to charge devices, hands-free speakerphone, and daisy chaining
  • Braven: 625sRugged rubberized Bluetooth speaker/speakerphone/device charger brings music to any outdoor adventure
