The real reason is that on the iPhone there's competition. Rovio competes with other game developers. Hence all the 99 cent apps you see on iPhone. While on the N900 there's not much competition hence they can charge what they would normally charge.
I know that there is piracy on the iPhone. My point is that the N900 is much more of a gamble for any developer. Recouping your cost on a popular device is easier even when the usual piracy is taken in to account. Frankly I would be amazed if the sales of any N900 game reach the thousands.

Anyway the levels are cheap. It is not like anyone's wallet will be hurt by a few US$.
