Ethan,

I'm just learning also, but I can see bundles in the Applications folder on
my Mac. All dependencies necessary to run an application are included in a
single structure that you can often "drag and drop" from the installer
window to (for example) the Applications folder. To start the application,
you double-click it. In other cases a disk image installer (.dmg) is used to
place the application (.app) into the correct folder, and also place other
files into other Mac locations such as /Library.

Per sent us a link to the wikipedia

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundle_%28Mac_OS_X%29

which is a much better explanation.

Actually, I much prefer the definition of bundling that you found.
