Doesn't sound that great, really, especially compared to an iPad or a high-end Android tablet.
It also has two of the big drawbacks which I think are common to Win 7 tablets: Higher weight and a lower battery life.
The iPad 2 weighs around 600g, and the battery lasts for 10 hours. I think that Android tablets such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Eee Pad have similar figures.
The Iconia? Well, from those reviews it apparently weighs two and a half times as much, and the battery lasts ~half as long
Ditto for another Win 7 "tablet", the Dell Inspiron Duo:

Until Windows 8 comes out, enabling Windows to run on ARM, I do not think you'll see any Windows tablets which have the battery life, weight, and dimensions of the iPad and the Android tablets. So as you say you want something "teeny and light" and not heavy and bulky like a laptop, I really think you should just scratch Win 7 off your list.
