Either they created more bandwidth where there is none or this is really an announcement how their app can now do uploads in parallel. Woohoo! You finished the tutorial level, you may continue.

Make the app zip and unzip the pictures automagically, tell people that it'll use less bandwidth than email?

It's worth stating that zipping/gzipping JPEG's (the most common camera phone file format) nets almost no benefit as JPEG's are already compressed.
