You are right about it defeating the purpose of a small tablet. For me, it is the "possibility" of attaching one when, if ever, I needed it. The Archos 80 G9 actually comes in 2 versions. One with a 16 GB flash drive and the other with a 250 GB HD. I did not get the one with the HD though it cost only 40 euros more. It would have pushed the weight of the tablet from 450g to over 600g and the reason I did not get an iPad was the size and weight. By the way, I was able to play videos from my old full size SD cards by using a SD card reader plugged into an USB OTG adapter to the microUSB port. A few SD cards are all that I ever need carry around.
