I think their price is more-or-less reasonable in terms of the value provided and in comparison to application pricing for other mobile platforms:

iPhone application prices are unsustainably low. I find the $30 price point to be a very encouraging sign.

Just curious- in what respect are the prices unsustainable? Couldn't one as easily argue that the Blackberry app prices are unsustainably high?

Unless you produce one of the very few 'hits', you'll lose money developing a $1.99 application.

you lose even more money developing an application that costs more than $2.99 - because nobody buys them.

If that's the case, then the market is unsustainable. Players will fail, causing scarcity, raising the value of applications, and conditioning users to expect to pay more.
