Additional layouts just mean one layout doesn't get enough attention,  
and functionality is missing from one or both. The tablets are  
perfectly capable of handling complex websites, so all we have to do  
is keep the design reasonable (i.e., don't fill it with js and Flash  
applets, don't overload on images, etc.) and everything will be just  
fine.
