I would strongly recommend against creating applications that are so large. Keep in mind that the available space for applications (and other secure data like mails, contacts, etc) on the G1 is < 128MB, so just installing that app is a huge commitment to the user in that it greatly decreases the space they have for other applications. If nothing else, a large application like that will instantly cut the number of users by a significant amount.
