Your image is simply way too big. You should resize the Bitmap after loading it or, if it's a JPEG, rescale it at loading time. Take a look at BitmapFactory.Options to see how to do it.
Alternatively you could handle the screen rotation yourself but it will prevent you from using alternate resources. No matter what solution you pick, remember you can only allocate 16 MB of memory for your entire application and an image as big as the one you are talking about is probably using most of these 16 MB.
