It's not quite < $1000. At the moment it is available in the UK for 3995 pounds.
I've seen one briefly - too briefly to comment, but Torch can be reached at:

Torch Computers Ltd

Great Shelford
CAMBRIDGE
CB2 5LQ

Tel: +44 223 841000
Tlx: 818841 TORCH G
Fax: +44 223 840223

No e-mail address I'm afraid (I phoned to check.)
