I'm always skeptical when size comes down also, espeically in software/app upgrades because i've been burned before where features were removed. On a normal computer, it's usually no problem to uninstall and go back, but in the case of android/ipad, there's no way to revert. Right now, i'm stuck on a version of amazon's VOD player on the ipad that doesn't work on my device and i can't go back to the version i had. It's unusable since i get sound with no video, and it's been like this for about a month. Going by the reviews, i'm not the only one.
Occasionally, size can be reduced with better or different compression algorithms, but at this point in computing, it's highly unlikely that anyone is even working on that.
