Right, and most people could have much more free space on their phones (or, more apps). I'd much rather write some glue code than ask my users to dedicate 275 MB to install my app, not even counting cached data or anything else. There's a reason many of my friends and I have deleted apps like LinkedIn - it's not that we don't like them, it's that the the apps were too big for the little value they gave us, especially when considering the web versions give us almost all the same capabilities, and only cost a couple KB of persistent storage (cookies + history + maybe some localStorage or whatever).
