Thanks for your support, Yahel. The 135KB image is 1000x1000 pixels
[quite a large canvas], but this is to ensure it looks great on hi-dpi
screens at both portrait and landscape and at any sort of aspect
ratio.. I'm also using android:scaleType="centerCrop" in my XML
markup ... It's a PNG, as well. I saved it from Photoshop using "Save
As..." not "Save For Web & Devices..." [should I be using the
latter? .. either way its just a PNG file, I think "Save For Web &
Devices" just compresses it more]...
