I meant to reply to the public board. As I was saying, doesn't this application size limit pose a barrier to apps which use sound or video clips? Although my app has lots of pics (250), they don't amount to much really, being only 300x400.each..So this must be a problem for many apps.
I suppose the capacity is greater on a Droid or Nexus?? I have never seen an Android phone in Canada yet so I don;t care so much about G1s. Up here in Canada, the first generation of HTC Android phones are very rare, having been offered so far only with a dreary 3- year package. People are waiting for a better deal, or choosing another brand. My hunch is that Pre is way outselling Android in Canada so far, maybe 5 to 1. When the Droids are released in a month, I expect that all to change.
