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.

Continuing saga

Well, after all that repair work on my N95, updating the firmware, recovering the content of the backup that wouldn’t load, blatting it back onto the machine via Outlook, and just as I was beginning to enjoy the sharpening up of the new firmware, the screen died.

The backlight burns bright, but there’s no data showing. Sigh. You can plug the phone into a TV and use it fine, but that rather reduces your mobilility.

So I’ve now a shiny new black Nokia N95 8GB. It’s very nice, and all the work I put into generalising my contacts so that I can just sync them paid off as I was fully-populated within a few minutes of opening the box. More on this cool device later.
