The problem of constructing a nice smash product of spectra is an old and well-known problem of algebraic topology. This problem has come to mean the following: Find a model category, which is Quillen-equivalent to the model category of spectra, and which has a symmetric monoidal product corresponding to the smash product of spectra. Two solutions were found recently, namely the smash product of S-modules of [EKMM], and the smash product of symmetric spectra of [HSS]. Here we present another solution, the smash product of SF, the category of simplicial functors from finite pointed simplicial sets to pointed simplicial sets. Before we describe some interesting special properties of SF, we summarize some other results contained in this paper: Although SF might not seem a natural object to study, especially to a reader not very familiar with simplicial techniques, it should in fact be thought of as the category of functors from finite pointed CW-complexes to pointed topological spaces which are pointed (take one-point spaces to one-point spaces) and homotopy functors (take weak equivalences to weak equivalences). It is clear that this latter category has an interesting homotopy theory (it has a natural class of weak equivalences), which cannot come from a model structure (for the trivial reason that colimits and limits do not preserve weak equivalences in general). However, this homotopy theory is equivalent to another one that SF has (see section 8, especially for which we construct a model structure Ordinary (Bousfield-Friedlander) spectra can also be viewed as pointed simplicial functors into pointed simplicial sets (only now they are not defined on all finite pointed simplicial sets,
