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.

Fashion meets phone

Various people have blogged on the LG Prada phone, which is due in Europe in February of this year. This slim, elegant black device has a touch screen with soft keypad. The UI is reputedly designed by Prada designers, and from the limited view on the demo it looks very nice indeed.

Not cluttered up with techy features, and not hung up with religious fanaticism, it is an easy to user phone, not a hybrid of other things that work better independently. And it’s small.

    How do you do Dr. Marshall?

    Your interesting work at rapid mobile took me all the way up here.
    The Ad360 advertising platform seems to be quite applicable in Korea as well right now, where SK telecom is biggest and dominant MNO and I work for the company affiliated to SK Telecom. SK Telecom has more than 20 million mobile subscribers and huge mobile Internet business volume of more than 40 millions USD.

    Korea will have full nation wide 3.5G mobile service (HSDPA) within 3 months based on WCDMA technology and it will create huge opportunities
    for companies like yours.

    Can I get more detailed info. on Ad360 advertising platform?
    With that I would like to find a way to work with you at personal level and the company level as well(I am personally interested in developing business in mobile advertising targeting to subscribers of SK Telecom)

    I hope to here from you soon.

    Thank you in advance.

    SKCC consulting division.

    PS. I’ve once worked at LG and my colleagues at LG still work for producing beautiful handset like LGPrada phone.

    Hi Jay

    I’m currently travelling home (or hoping to - flight delayed in New York, and by amazing co-incidence sitting in the KAL Lounge!). Will contact you next week to explore working together.

    thanks
