Indeed. Just the other day I was trying (with no luck) to find a simple drawing app for Android (something like Paint on windows) that was less than 18 MB. Seriously, that sort of app should not need huge executables like that.

I'd bet that they're shipping all kinds of graphics libraries, and probably some support for older Android versions. What drawing app was 18MB?

Or 15MB out of those 18MB are the 100 ad libraries bundled in that serve weird/dubious ads at best.
