Do you write programs for either of those? If you do, do you use a langauge that would be compiled (either to machine code or to bytecode that is stored in a seperate file)? In either case, using tabs vs. spaces is still irrelevent from a file size point of view.

I use and write Perl and Perl/Tk programs for my iPAQ/Linux PDA. To save space, I sent the whole Perl/Tk distribution through perltidy with the option to remove Pod, comments and unnecessary whitespace.

I was refering to code you are editing -- if you then want to install/run that code on a device where size is important, then there's all sorts of things you can do to help save bytes, even in an interpreted language. space->tabs may save some space, but converting all insignificant whitespace into single spaces is even better, and converting variable names to single characters can save a tone more.
Of course, if you're acctually editing source code on your iPod and Cell-Phone, then my point is void, and I weep for you.
