What’s inside . . . A Word from the Publisher
Dear Electronics Industry Professional, Welcome to the February 28th Issue of EIU. Apex and Embedded World both happened during the
month of February. Two shows which could both be described as successes. For those doubters who tell me this industry is on its oxters, I say look at the number of people discussing design work at EW, or those who actually bought equipment or were looking for equipment for new projects at Apex. During March we have the NEW Road show in the UK –
anyone who’d like to arrange a meeting at that please email:
donal@blackdotpublishing.com. For further information on this event please visit
