Is Windows Phone 8 Gonna Help Nokia Out?

So, Nokia's new Lumias 820 and 920 are powered by Windows Phone 8. What does that mean?
Well, one thing for sure, it means that even though Nokia suffered a tremendous decrease in its market share, "the numbers do show that there is a good amount of interest in Windows Phone as a platform and the Nokia brand. The improved hardware support in Windows Phone 8 may be just the help the company needs to push Windows Phone into the spotlight and further grow the platform and the Nokia brand."

Evolution of Balakam: From prototype to alpha and beta

Everything in this life evolves through a certain number of stages. A rock band has to come up with the idea of its musical frames, then the line-up, then the name, then the label (but not necessarily in that order). The same goes with any TV show: the genre, the script, the actors, the pilot, the frantic search for the ideas for a new season.

Balakam is also in constant process of refining itself. After we have decided on the outline for conquering the world, the name and the technology to deliver the best entertainment for you in the most hands-down way we were due to present a prototype of the search engine.

 

Prototype

  • Basic search functionality
  • Ability to categorize streams by types (TV, Radio, webcam)
  • Publicly available
