Hi, could anyone tell me please how long it'd take to load a 80 to 100mb game on the iPad?

This is a very difficult question as the answer must perforce be "It depends..."
If you just have code...it will load fast as in ToastKitten's "Don't Let Go!
If you have the first scene filled with intense graphics... the load will take longer.
I suggest that you load graphics when needed ... during runtime.
if you have a blank actor that responds to a variable for display of an image, things will go so much faster.
EX: when scene=1 change image to 'name'...

Also, I always assumed that with any game starting on an iDevice, that the whole game loads at the beginning, not just a scene at a time. But you're suggesting there's a way for the game to load only chunks at a time?
