Previously the limit was 10MB and anything additional needed to be downloaded via Wi-Fi.

From iLounge:

This limit now appears to have been increased to 20MB in both the App Store and iTunes Store on the device, allowing users to download larger applications and video content.

The reason why might be timed to get users used to downloading bigger apps before before the iPad arrives, or it could be a quiet response to an increasing demand for apps on the run over 10MB.

Whatever the reason it's good to see some relaxing on an arbitrary restriction. Seoul City Metro weighs in at 9.6 MB so I approve of this relaxing in restrictions.
