Sorry,my bad. I should've made it clearer that I'm using appMobi to 
create an android app from HTML5 pages. While I can get a HTML5 page to 
display the viewport size correctly it fails as an app.

I was hoping it was just some misunderstanding on my part but now it 
seems to be a flaw in appMobi.
