People on Morphos portal were saying that ubuntu very sluggish on this system, not fault of the system but with ubuntu.
 
I generalyl find ubuntu very snappy on everyhting ive used it on

A8 is not a bad processor, just because A9 and A15 perform higher does mean the A8 isn't more than adequate.
Touchscreen, touchpads? I'd still rather have a mouse.
The problem is I can get an Atom based netbook for about the same price (with video output) that will outperform Genesi's offering.
An OMAP A9 based system would have been better and would not have cost as much.
 
Next year OMAP moves to the A15. Then performance will be higher than Atom.
 
I could see buying a netbook based on that processor for $299.

 
Your right A8 not bad, its been powering my nokia N900 for sometime I believe quite happily
