I've been looking at the "UMPC/Netbook" forms for a while, and I think I'd probably go with the 901. The $150 difference is a lot for 4GB of storage, even for an SSD. However, I like the specs on the Atom, and since it is a newer, more efficient processor (supposedly) than the Celeron, it should be around and supported longer than the Celeron. My second choice in this category would probably be the MSI Wind for the same reason. Normally I'm an AMD guy, but Intel really has their stuff together in low-power consumption platforms.
