I had mentioned something like that here months ago to distinguish 
this.  Seems logical, and I think it's the right way to go.  If the 
physical size of the device is below some threshold, I think it does 
follow suit that you'll not want traditional scrollbars.

Now -- do you do so by thresholding the length and width (if height < x 
or height < width, don't show scrollbars), or do you do it by area (if 
device area is < x, don't show scrollbars)?
