Lol, they're holes not pads m8
Just lay the chip on the board, then flick solder from across the room & see if you can fill all the holes in one hit
You dont need to remove the motherboard like you do with the Aladdin, it only uses 2 wires which are both on the top of the board. It also uses a 1mb flash so you'll always keep pace with future developments.
The best feature I think though is the boot sequence, it's the opposite way around to the Aladdin & Applex V. A quick tap enables the chip instead of the long press required by the others (I know its not hard but ask a 7yr old which he prefers).
