You seem to have misunderstood something.  It is not the stated goal of
GNOME 3 to target "smart devices" with the GNOME Shell UI and that's the
not the rationale behind the design

Here are the design documents

Here is a quote from the release manager

http://geekybodhi.net/habari/interview-with-vincent-untz-at-gnome-asia-summit-2011

"KDE has a different user interface for the netbook and a normal
desktop. We don't think it's necessary. But if you go to other sizes
such as tablets or mobile phones obviously that's not the current target
of Gnome. We are not working actively on porting Gnome to those devices"
