The reason these updates are so large is because each revision made to the operating system requires a complete new image file. They can't release a 'patch' like MS Windows to fix a minor bug.
As more and more features were introduced to the OS (multitasking etc.) the physical size of the OS has grown and grown. The same reason Windows XP came on one CD, and now Win 7 requires a DVD.
There will always be more frequent updates with the release of a new handset, over time they will slow down and settle on a 'stable' release like 3.1.3 was prior to IOS4.
FTE217 - Do you have broadband at home? If so grab yourself a wireless modem/access point so you can connect by WiFi. It will be much faster online, will allow you to download large items from iTunes and if you have an iPhone 4 you can try out the 'FaceTime' feature which is pretty cool.
It also gives you greater access to PodCasts, Applications, YouTube etc.
