An app is generally a whole lot smaller and a whole lot less critical to operating your device. If the OS is corrupted, you are likely to have bricked your device.
I have used Speed Download, in the past to download large applications and app updates for the Mac. I have never used it for an OS update, but if a download is interrupted SD partitions the download and restarts from the last partition. It then reassembles them. I don't know if it does a checksum or other verification of the resulting reassembled download. BTW, how many apps or app upgrades have you seen verify themselves before installation?
I have not looked for or heard of an application similar to Speed Download for the iOS.
Also, look at where RIM is currently, and look at where Apple is currently. Which is currently successful and which business model would you like to follow?
Where were you, and what were the conditions when you had a connection slowdown?
