I think I'd like to see a standard UI with device manufacturers being able to put their own if they want to, that way device manufactures that either don't want to spend the money on a custom UI, or differentiate themselves in other ways at least have a starting point.

But I strongly feel it should be different. As I can see with Android, the difference is only with the manufacturer (Brand) and rest all looks the same. I feel presently what is happening with Android is if you have brand name to show case thats it! The content remains same. This should be totally avoided because it takes out the edge from a manufacturer to make their mobile phone distinct. It should be more or less similar to J2ME, which enables manufacturers to have their own implementation but core part works same across devices. This will also enable lot of low end device manufacturers to adopt to Meego sooner rather than later and make distinct looking phones. Thanks for starting off this debate, its the right time to decide what should be the case. - Deepak On Fri, Apr 2, 2010 at 12:28 PM, Matthieu Chaton <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, I've just a question concerning the UI in MeeGo. Will the UI be common to every device using MeeGo (at least common for a specific target : phone, notebook, etc), or will the UI be specific for each device (eg : if nokia and samsung decide to use MeeGo for a device, will they share the same UI (like android) or will they have different implementations ?)
