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.

Vodafone Deadstudio

Due to the magical incompatibilities of MMS, when I get sent an MMS on my Vodafone device, I get sent an SMS with a URL and a password. The URL doesn’t work on any phone browser I’ve tried, but it used to work on my computers.

Not this week. All you get is a registration/login page to setup some kind of Deadstudio account. No place to pick up the pictures. You can, however, read the instructions for picking up pictures which include a link to the same page as the SMS. Which doesn’t work.

Just come off the phone to Vodafone Customer Support where they tell that things have been upgraded. Yeah right. Didn’t anybody actually test it before they put it up? Clearly not.
