[android-developers] Cannot install apk of huge size

Hi everyone
I have an issue with installing an apk of size 72 MB onto
devices like Samsung Galaxy i7500 and Nexus One .The entire size of
the application is 256 MB.The devices have enough memory say 600MB on
samsung galaxy.But still it does not install saying there is
insufficient storage.
Do the apk file gets uncompressed to the size of application after
installing.I mean if i am installing this 72 MB apk does it take 256
MB space of apllication.Does it work somewhat like a .zip file?
Please give me a solution as to why even after having enough memory
i cant install the apk?

Thanks
Neil
