While we were a little dubious about the Patriot A6’s iPod Nano second-gen form factor as a clip-on player, we are in total agreement to the a5’s aesthetic sensibility. No more hook on the backside, just a nice white coat of paint and the Aigo branding. No disappearing screen though like the a6 but the touch-sensitive volume control, presumably, still light up when in use. Casing is supposed to be an aluminum-magnesium alloy, which I suppose lends the A5 a plasticky look.
