I convert "most" of the images in my stacks that need the full range of transparency via tinypng.org. I have a utility on my PC that does the same thing but tinypng has been far more convenient. The downsides are the resulting files aren't compatible with early web browsers, my version of Photoshop (CS5), or gimp - so keep the original.
My image intensive apps on both iOS and Android display the optimized pngs well at a mere fraction of the size. I created a bunch of tile-sets recently for an online strategy game one of the larger tile-sets un-optimized 439k https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58521836/wall%20tile%20pack.png optimized retaining full transparency 136k https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58521836/wall%20tile%20pack_reduced.png They liked the optimization enough they had me pipe the rest of their existing art through tinypng greatly reducing the bandwidth used and speeding up the game.
