With all the fuzz and massive battle around the tablet arena, from HP, Dell and to other major tech companies, all got into the tablet wagon.

Now, another has joined the party – Texas Instruments (TI).

Yep, TI will be going to release a tablet named Blaze. Now, with that name we expect it to be fast and packed with cool and amazing features. And looking at the below list of features made my jaw dropped and burned my geek and techie desire inside me.

What do you think of this device? Hit the comments.

(Hmmm…I wonder how many will I break?)
