I think the cradle goes for about $500. Add any iPod Touch and you're still under a grand for each device.
They have a very nice Cocoa API for the device as well. I've had a blast developing for it.
LightSpeed is actually an entire retail service stack which uses the Linea-Pro cradle for their mobile platform. Most of the cost is licensing their retail software. Your $1,000 quote is a bit off...
From the pricing page:
In order to purchase a Bundle including the
LightSpeed Mobile Hardware Kit, at least 2
user licenses need to be added to your order. [1]
So that's a baseline of $1,823. When you toggle on the "Mobile Hardware Kit" the price jumps by $549, which sounds about right for the hardware and setup.
I do contract iOS dev work, so feel free to ping me if you're looking into this sort of thing.
