Two things:
I think they have simply underestimated the power that a dual core CPU requires. Apple has optimized this to death. If the world would have been ready for efficient dual core ARM CPUs then we would have seen those in other tables too, no?
They went for a very nice user interface. Stuff animating, multitasking, movies playing in thumbnails on the home screen, etc. Compare this to what Apple did with the iPad: it's interface may be a little sober, but it is all about being energy efficient.

If the world would have been ready for efficient dual core ARM CPUs then we would have seen those in other tables too, no? There are a bunch of dual-core phones and tablets coming out next year. If they all have poor battery life we can blame the hardware.
