On a phone that has limited storage space?

And there's another thing ... with Android I'm not sure if it will run correctly on a "Samsung Galaxy S" if I've only tested my app with the Nexus One, but at least I know it will execute.

If you're reuploading an update for Samsung, it will surely not be one about binary-compatibility.

iTunes could perform liposuction (seriously, `man 1 lipo`) on the app bundle when transferring to the device.
