We currently do this based on screen dimensions. A phone screen is too small to reliably use the windowed interface, so we don't switch to it automatically (you can use a keyboard and mouse with the "staged" interface just fine).
If you connect a mouse to a bigger device, it will indeed switch windowed mode on.
That said, we do want to leave the decision to the user, and remember their preference for a given setup. Even if we don't switch to windowed automatically, if you do it manually, we'll remember the screens and input devices you had at the time and try and restore the same mode you used last.
Stay tuned.
