Fair enough. Never considered the disk space it occupies. Would be nice if the automatic downloading would work without downloading the app. (i.e. "Send to iPhone")
It works that way for videos. If I purchase a movie from iTunes it gives me the options to download it or not. The movie is available to stream (actually watch while it downloads, but the difference is indistinguishable) from other devices, so a similar option to avoid downloading the app into iTunes and get badges for updates would be nice.
