Creating PCB or breakout board for sensor/ICs
The BMA180 accelerometer is in an LGA package, i.e. no actual pins sticking out, unlike SOP / SOIC packages. This makes it non-trivial to hand-solder, even if a breakout board were available. The pin pitch of 0.5 mm makes this even more challenging. 

Assembled breakout boards, with the IC already soldered in, are available from several sources: Searching for BMA180 module yielded this one on Amazon, for instance.
