SMART Board 685 Interactive Whiteboard

New wide-screen interactive whiteboard provides teachers with more work space

SMART Board 685 interactive whiteboard supports wide-screen computers and
projectors

CALGARY, Alberta --- January 9, 2008 --- SMART Technologies announces the
SMART BoardTM 685 interactive whiteboard, a wide-format interactive
whiteboard with a 16:10 aspect ratio that measures 87 inches (221 cm) on
the diagonal. The extra wide format offers 20 percent more working space
than a SMART Board 680 interactive whiteboard and provides a solution for
teachers who choose to adopt 16:10 wide-screen projectors.

The SMART Board 685 interactive whiteboard adds to SMART's existing
wide-format interactive whiteboard offering -- the SMART Board 690
interactive whiteboard with a 16:9 aspect ratio -- making SMART the only
company to offer two wide-format interactive whiteboards. The new product
caters to the growing number of teachers using native 16:10 laptops and
projectors. The 685 also offers an expansion slot on the pen tray, enabling
teachers to easily upgrade their hardware by adding other SMART products.
Like all SMART Board interactive whiteboards, the 685 comes with
feature-rich NotebookTM collaborative learning software, the core
application for the creation and delivery of lesson activities.

"SMART places tremendous value on input from our customers, and then we
work hard to incorporate their input into our products," says Nancy
Knowlton, SMART's CEO. "The SMART Board 685 interactive whiteboard succeeds
in meeting teachers' needs for a 16:10 aspect ratio that gives them more
work space."

Pricing and availability

The SMART Board 685 interactive whiteboard begins shipping in April 2008,
and suggested pricing will be announced at that time. Special pricing will
be available for education customers. School officials, administrators and
teachers who are interested in purchasing the SMART Board 685 interactive
whiteboard software should contact SMART or their local authorized reseller.
