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.

Better batteries at last?

I’m optimistic that batteries are finally beginning to offer longer life again. In the last few weeks I’ve been on some long calls using my N95 8Gb and a Samsung bluetooth earpiece and the performance has been excellent. In one instance the tiny ear-bud Samsung had not been used for six weeks but gave 75 minutes of service. For the same call, the N95 did not show any change in the battery level. Similarly, my Canon 450D sits in my home office for weeks at a time unused and then cheerful takes hundreds of pictures before showing signs of battery fatique.
