You mentioned the Archos 9 tablet, which I'm interested in too. I checked the specs last night and it weighs about the same as the T91MT. I somehow thought a tablet only design might be lighter weight. It does have navigation buttons on the LCD and that is my only real complaint against my T91MT--when you fold the LCD into tablet mode all the keyboard buttons are covered. It would be nice if it had at least a few buttons on the LCD itself for tablet mode. Buttons are generally faster than using a stylus are finger for many actions.

thats good that you dont notice any loss of processing power...and those atoms arent meant for anything power hungry anyways
the archos 9 I had a lot of hope for, but their lack of customer service, support for repair/replacement and its lack of a few base "netbook" spec options had it ruled out for me. I think the asus is a better option. The T101MT (10 inch model) seems like a real big winner. The Lenovo S10-3t would be awesome if it had a stylus as I believe a tablet should be stylus based, but I dont know that you cannot use a stylus with it, it just doesnt come with one but heard it might be possible. Im going to go by bestbuy and see if they have any to check out - doubtful though....
The Fujitsu tablets and slates are AWESOME bc they come with so many little buttons for slate/tablet mode and each button generally has 2 uses, one hard wired and another you can program and use by clicking the function button. the more buttons the better - screen orientation, internet browser, etc... but they are pricey.
