The problem is not editing the stacks, the problem is figuring out at
runtime if you're running on a cheap android tablet or an expensive high
end android phone.

We need something along the lines of:

mobileIsDeviceAPhone()
mobileIsDeviceATablet()

If we can figure out this then we can present a better layout. Another
thing would be a good way to return the screen physical size, for example 7
inches for Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire.
