The USD1,000 iPhone App: Why?

http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/17/most-expensive-iphone-app-barmax/
Okie, why does this iPhone costs USD1,000?
I think it's cause users find USD1,000 of value in it.

1. Provides highly specialised knowedge
2. That people are willing to pay for

Which leads me to think of other kinds of highly specialized exams.. (MCAT?)

I wonder whether there are any good iPhone apps that teach people basic English. The English teaching classes offered by the tuition chains in China are ridiculously expensive and quite scam-riddled.
