It is, but you'd most likely have two different layouts, one in the default
layout folder, and one in the layout/tablet subfolder (I don't know what
this folder is really called). The runtime knows these files are equivalent
because they both have the same name, The only thing you have to be careful
about, is that the IDs of things you want to interact with in your code
(e.g. to attach a listener to a button or data to a list) must refer to
widgets of the same class in both layouts.

There might be a philosophical difference here, too. I think button sizes
and other things tend to be given relative sizes: 50%, "fill the remaining
space", etc. I'm not saying that solves every problem (who wants a button
that takes up half the screen on a 10" tablet?), but that the mindset is
different.
