The gap is actually caused by our clearfix on the categories section: http://f.cl.ly/items/3t0S1y031J0h1n103c1b/Screen%20shot%202012-09-20%20at%201.41.43%20PM.png

Not forcing the user to scroll -> Maria, any thing we can do to alter the sizes of the promo images/header?

Wait wait. Assuming that we will in the future have more content below the categories (which has always been the intention) we *do* want the screen to look the way it does. Not showing all of the second row of the category tiles implies to the user that there is more to see and will help them discover that they can scroll down the page.

That was just a suggestion. We're not reducing the height viewport to 480px. I just fixed the unintentional gap below the categories and the end of the viewport.

With force-mobile-layout switched off, the gap still shows up on Android. Reopening..
