I did a regular google search and searched the forum but cant see that anyone has asked it yet:
Why do android applications double in size once you download them?
For example... in the Android market - Documents to Go says the application is only 3.59mb BUT once I download it and look under Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications to see what real size it is the application jumps to 8.05mb!!!
It seems like every single application is doing this. Why are these applications bigger than they actually are?
Thanks for your help on this guys
