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.

And the bit of plastic wins!

The Nokia stand was too crowded to be worth elbowing my way to back to get a look at the forthcoming N96. However a few review sites are talking about it in glowing terms. I find it amusing that a key feature being listed is the kickstand - a bit of plastic that hinges out the back so you can watch video without having to hold the phone to get the right angle.

Of such simple things success is built. Now if they’ve ditched the 376 unless S60 software functions and multiple buttons round the side and focussed on simple things like the kickstand, this will be a winner.
