I am surprised AbsoluteLayout was ever part of Android knowing full well that future devices would be larger screens with more pixels. From what I've read, you don't want to use it so that you don't have to do special coding when the screen size changes from one device to the next. Using the Linear, Relative, etc layouts allow you to not depend on pixel width/height and thus support every device out there. This should bode well for tablet device with 6"+ larger screens that will have more screen resolution.
