I would suggest https://www.digitec.ch/ as they are selling the 2013 version. Sadly Media Markt and even more so Interdiscount just promote Apple products and so it is often difficult to finding competing products.
When I was looking at the beginning of the year, I decided that the Nexus was my best option, and it seemed good value.
However, shortly before I committed, I received an iPad Mini as a gift, which I'm happy with.
The 7" format is practical for portability and I wouldn't have been happy with a normal size iPad - or other bigger tablet, unless it's primarily for home use.
Very little is a huge understatement, the Ipad mini does not look bad on paper until you realize that resolution is spread over much more surface (different form factor). There is a reason why Apple lost almost 50% market share over the last 12 months in the tablet area.
Did you get the V2 device from digitec ? I am interested in picking up the V2 device and digitech still shows that the stock will be available end of August..
