The core curriculum focuses on theory with lots of projects to apply what you learned.

CS193 classes are optional and are sometimes designed/lead by grad student lecturers who are interested in that topic.

It is clear that there is a demand by Stanford students for this class. If someone wanted to design and teach a mobile dev course that surveyed android & ios, html5 mobile dev, and mobile UX issues, they could do so. They could call it CS193m or something.
