iPhone apps taking up >800MB...is that normal?

[makismagoo99]

iTunes shows my apps for my iPhone taking 853.6MB....is that normal? I assume that there would be a little extra space used for prefs, saved data, etc. but is that it? It seems like a very large amount...

Well how many apps do you have installed and what apps do you have installed? Some of the apps can be quite large when upzipped/unpacked.

I have 44 apps + the 21 default Apple apps. The only really big app that I have is the Apple Texas Hold 'Em game which weighs in at 129.1 MB according to iTunes. Everything else is relatively small.

That's not unreasonable then if you have apps like that.
