Yup, have N1 myself (for the time being anyway) so well aware of that and
the market limits.  But looking forward, as I see devices getting "bigger",
I wonder if people will be as concerned about APK size.  On my ADP1 I used
to be down right fanatical about it,  on my N1 less so (especially with the
ability to store apps on the SD card).

I didn't think of the download limits though... good point.

Anyway, it's more of a thinking out loud type question than anything
serious.
