If they based it on tegra 3 it would be very hard to understand, as a "techie", the differences between this and the collection of other tegra 3 products on the market. I think this helps set it apart from Google, rather than the instant retort of "its just a rebranded nexus 7"

That's a strange kind of argument for favoring something "as a techie". Wouldn't you be more excited by the two extra cores (not to mention the additional "phantom" core) that tegra 3 provides.

You'd like fewer cores to "set it apart"? That's certainly one way of looking at it.
