So we're talking 400 images times the average size of the images at a decent resolution. That would be one massively bloated app that no one would (could?) install. The other option would be load the images on demand from a server, which would require the internet permission and a backend service to host. It's easy to dismiss this developer as a spammer, but I can see legitimate reasons for this distribution method. > Instead of feeling like entering a poster store, I felt like entering an > art store and being told that two hundred papers of the same size with > different printed images are two hundred different type of arts. > That doesn't really make sense. No one said anything about the "type" of art being different. It's the same type with different content. I believe that was Nathan's point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
