I’m involved with a legacy BlackBerry appplication, where the COD install file is about 5 MB in size (mostly from embedded images and such). Is this size anything to be concerned about? Should a BlackBerry app generally be smaller in size, and why?
Some great answers to this question so far. One thing I’d like to add is that if you have duplicate images in your app (to support different screen sizes on different devices) – then consider creating different builds of the app that only use the images for a particular screen size. If you also target different OS versions, this might multiply the total number of builds quite a bit – but if you’re concerned about application size then it is a good approach.
