Android: Whats the maximum size of app that i can upload to the market?

Question

I have 3 video files each of 70 MB in my raw folder besides other audio files of few KBs. I am getting an installation error of insufficient space on the DROID while testing my app. I tried uninstalling apps and am now left with apps that are essential to the device.

What needs to be done to resolve this issue? I also wonder what will be the app size that i am allowed to upload to the android market?

Thank you.

Most apps solve this by letting users download the data files from their own server - that way, you can download them to the SD card. Remember that prior to Froyo (Android 2.2), all data ended up in the very limited internal storage of the phone, so 70MB would essentially force users to remove all their other apps just to make room for yours.
