My gut (without any info at all) says "no", they won't change the layout. They probably already put enough R&D into the thing versus their return on investment and already have a good design with the G2. They're probably banking on the Atari license to help move units, which is probably what I would do if I were in their business shoes. Hopefully if it's a success, that might mean they would do a new generation that would feature a new layout and some more tweaks.
I know I'd be happy to pay $500 for a much more sophisticated unit, somewhere in the sweet spot between the current design and a full blown machine, though of course I believe it already lists for that anyway (or was it $400?), with a street price generally in the $200 - $250 range.
