It's nice to see app size and network speed talked about seriously. The size of some Android apps is astounding (looking at you Facebook) and the lack of consideration for those in rural areas when designing APIs can be remarkable.
I think it’s particularly important for Uber because their typical first-time user has an immediate need and is away from home. If the app takes too long to download over cellular data or random airport WiFi then they’ve likely lost a customer to the competition.
