iphones are not 10x more expensive than any other competitor. compared to the pre, g1, blackberry storm, HTC touch series, sony experia, the iphone is actually the cheaper alternative.
Indeed, I never did understand the complaints about the iPhone's price. Sure, it was a lot more expensive than your average run-of-the-mill consumer phone, but it was in the same price range as comparable smartphones from Nokia, HTC, SonyEricsson, Blackberry and now Palm.
When calling any product cheap or expensive, the question should always be: Compared to what?
