Dr Richard M Marshall

I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.

I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.

I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.

This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Reverse Convergence

A lot of people talk about convergence and whether it’s a good thing or bad. One of the most practical examples of convergence is not needing to wear a watch because you can tell the time from your mobile.

Well, My Mobile Watch are doing the reverse - building a watch that is actually a GSM phone.

The design is still a bit clunky, but clearly there is scope for fixing that once the market is proven. Superb opportunity for through-branding!

    Interesting topic… I’m working in this industry myself and I don’t agree about this in 100%, but I added your page to my bookmarks and hope to see more interesting articles in the future
