The JTAG port in this case is six 18 mil holes on a similar grid spacing,
the "nails" don't fit in this case.  Use them regularly.  The normal 
production test points do fit the "nails".   This unit really is the size of 
a small pager there is little board space that isn't covered with parts.
The JTAG port is actually under the charger jack.

For anyone not familiar with Spring Probe "nails" I wrote a paper
for Circuit Cellar Online about them at the heights of the Dot-Com
era:

Most of the links there are long dead being written in the 90's.
Mouser carries IDI Spring Probes now.
