1. Objective-C.  You are forced to use it in iOS.
2. Android?  You need to write another version of your app and $25*!
How ’bout Windows Phone (a piece of crap)?  Another one, and you need
Windows and $99!  MeeGo?  Another version and €1*.  Symbian?  One
more, but you paid your euro when you made the MeeGo version…
Blackberry?  Another version, this time for free.  But wait, there’s
more!  You also need some phones to test your apps, and they aren’t
free!  Of course, you can learn from the web for free, but materials
for some programming languages are mediocre and you need some books!
Order right now, and we’ll— oh wait, this is not Billy Mays.  Anyways,
you should pass at least five grand by now.

And sorry for a bit of OT, but I had to.

* Android and Nokia/Ovi are per lifetime AFAIK, others are per year,
including iOS.
