I would use assets and ship that content with the app directly from the market. We are already used to wait after clicking the install button. I mean, if your app can't do anything when you launch it, then it just sounds like your app is shipped not complete and somehow it doesn't fill right. If your content is perishable and that's why you don't want to ship it at install time, then maybe find a content that could be default and interest your audience and make them read/interact with it while loading the new stuff.
