A comment on Does the App Store 20MB 3G Download Limit Matter?.

It's very annoying to be out, find out about an interesting app, and then have to remember to download it at home on WiFi because it's over 20MB (inevitably, I don't remember).

Ironically, my wifi at home is just serving up a 3G signal anyway so it's all going over the same network.

You'd think that it would mark it as "to be downloaded later" and then when you were back home either sync it from iTunes or prompt you to download over WiFi.

I've wanted this feature for awhile, too.

One workaround for this is to remind yourself about apps of interest by taking a screenshot (pressing top button and home button at the same time) and looking over your photos later when you sync with iTunes. Unfortunately, this workaround applies more to app users than app developers.
