What is the maximum application filesize for Blackberry App World -


We are planning an application program for BlackBerry and are wondering if the maximum size of the app is. There were just a few small apps in search of the App World. There will be hundreds of images and audiophiles in our app, which will be about 40 to 50 MB. Is it possible for your Blackberry?

Thx for your reply!

It is possible - but not practical. First of all, consider that many people install the app OTA (over air) and it takes a lot of time to download 40-50 MB even on the fast 3G connection. Another factor is limited memory on the device. The app has to be stored and run from on-the-flash memory, which is quite limited (32MB for older device, 64 MB or 128MB on new devices). Apps, email, contacts etc. take place on all main storage, so this place is at premium. Basically even if people give enough space to adjust an app on their device, then it is likely that unless they are actually a killer app, they are not setting it up due to size.

An alternative for bundling is to load your resources in a dynamically with your app in a sequential manner because they are necessary. Host them somewhere on a webserver and load them on the network as needed. If the user has an SD card installed, you can cache the data there as they usually have more space than onboard storage.
