This layout works well on most devices. I think it's fair to say that you can do a lot with it. I also discovered a small, but annoying, technical anomaly with webkit browsers while creating it. Using the example below, If I had set the #text element to 'float:left;', this element would have shifted beneath the #picture element. Given the webkit browser is used in many mobile browsers, this becomes more important.
One thing you'll notice from this layout is that I haven't done much with the fonts, but that's just to keep the code slim.
See demo.
