Why so expensive?

I have an interesting marketing idea for FSBO or realtor promotions with a help of iPhone or any other mobile device. It was designed specially for those who want to sell home in California. But I write here not to share as it’s still not ready. And the main reason is the high (or better to say extremely high costs for mobile development services).

I turned to some American companies – the price was with four zeros for a small application, I wrote a letter to India – the price decreased by 20%, but it’s still too high. I tried to find a company in the Eastern Europe. The best price I got from one team in Belarus, but I still can’t afford it.

So, I have a question – does anyone know why iPhone application development costs so much? And will the rates decrease in the nearest future?
