SchmartBOARD, a company that manufactures a new type of prototyping board that makes hand soldering surface mount components so simple that a 10 year old can do it, has announced a
program to give out free samples.
According to VP Sales & Marketing, Neal Greenberg: "The new Schmartboard ez has been shipping for 1 month now. After launching it at DEMOfall. Although we have been very successful in
capturing the attention of engineers, universities and hobbyists, our product is a huge improvement for prototyping and it is hard to convince people that a better "mousetrap" exists
until they actually use it. We have found out that our best advertisement is to physically get the product in the hands of people." The link to the program details and electronic form is

Engineers have historically used prototyping boards to test circuits and avoid costly custom printed circuit board (PCB) revisions said Andrew Yaung, SchmartBoard s CEO. Prototyping
boards have existed for a long time, but as surface mount components have become smaller and smaller, these boards have not kept up with the technology and have not remained a practical
tool for most applications. Because of this, engineers are forced to use custom PCBs and can spend large amounts of time and money on revision after revision of expensive custom PCBs
before they finally have the circuit perfected. By making prototyping boards viable again, SchmartBoard ez will save companies a tremendous amount of time and money. In addition to this
need for an easy prototyping tool, SchmartBoard ez can be used as the circuit board in mass-produced technologies.
