I think a bit of the problem is the implications of the word 'mobile' - in terms of the layout update, that's more about dealing with tablet devices, rather than smartphones.

It would be more accurate to say that tablet devices should be able to view the full Wikia experience without issue - while often lumped under the mobile banner, we treat tablets more like desktops and laptops.
