Of course a phone without touch interface will have different UI from a tablet. 
But every device has its own specifications ! not every device has a video 
output, not every device will have a gps, not every device will have a wlan 
card. So all these elements must not be handled basically by MeeGo ? No, I 
don't think.

For the UI it's the same. You say that a touch interface is different form a 
keyboard interface or mouse interface.
But a device can have both ! We can imagine that the generic specification of 
MeeGo UI can handle touch, keyboard and mouse at the same time !
We can also imagine that the generic UI can display specific elements (title 
bar, notifications) differently according to the resolution or device type 
declared (eg : 3 differents layouts for title/information bar, for width < 480, 
width between 480 and 800, width > 800)

I don't think it's particulary hard, and it could provide a coherent and 
recognizable UI for all the MeeGo devices
