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.

Nice magnifier

I sent an e-mail from the iPod Touch today, first time. Typing was a bit of a pain. However, I came across by accident (how else?) a neat little magnifier came up under my thum letting me see the text enormously magnified.  You can drag it around the screen.

Unfortunately the only place I’ve been able to find this magnifier is in the e-mail composing window. Why isn’t this on everything? The graphics were gorgeous, and the magnifier would be really useful  in the web browser to avoid constant zooming.
