Here's links to pictures, dunno if either of them is the final design or not...
QWERTY
QWERTZ
Well, personally I have been thinking that I'd like that QWERTZ more than QWERTY. That's because scandic letters are in their native positions (only needs to swap å instead of ü). I think it would be possible to remap the keys in QWERTY also, but natively has some commas etc in those positions, which you possibly need to remap to somewhere else...

Can't we just simply change characters on the keyboard to do Ä and Ö if using QWERTY? When I was living in the states I did it with my work computer and I think it worked well. Was it the ;: character maybe?
I guess so. Although there is not enough space for ä,ö,å in Pro1's QWERTY layout. So you need to figure it out somehow. But shouldn't be a problem, particularly if you have done it before... I thought that it would be lesser evil to have q and z swapped.
