you can't fill 140MB with "features mostly".

it's gotta be something like mostly media (uncompressed bitmaps), metadata, (debug symbols maybe?), libraries / platform / compatibility layers (95% of which is never used for any particular install).

I have seen what it looks like when you actually try to cram "features mostly" into a few tens of megabytes and the GMail app is not that.

I just downloaded the IPA. It literally looks like it has a 134 MB blob of code (out of a 215 MB universal .app).

Google must have some insane cross-platform code library or something in there.
