Difference in lay outing is ok. But have you seen different Android phones? What differs them? Its just the brand. The pops the same way, the desktops look the same, everything else is the same! What I wish is, meego should give a basic UI for all possible combinations. And we (Users and the community) should force manufacturers to have a different feel of the Meego. But difference should just be in the looks and not in how you develop/use the app. I is going to be a challenge... We should and do something about it...
