when downloading new apps over 3g, you certainly need one. whether it is 
presented to the user as such or not is another matter. see how android or 
XBox handles this with their queued downloader, which does allow the user to 
check to see progress, cancel or pause for the moment, etc.

completely hiding downloads (whether from a web page, from an app store or 
from an activity) is denying the reality of mobile internet. "roaming data 
charges" anyone? :)

otherwise, i concur with what you wrote in general ...
