Ok I just figured out how to get my app on the device (I did exported through Eclipse, and then zipalign on the command-line). I installed it, and ran it, and the download was roughly the same speed as when I run through the debugger on the device. This was with the USB cable disconnected as well. This is on an Android Dev Phone 2 (HTC Magic).
The only thing I can think is that I still had the debuggable flag set to true in the manifest when I exported, would this affect the speed on the device if not connected via USB?
