No, there isn’t any other than AJA. The older version (SD only) is less pricey though.
Another way to go is a memory card based camera like Panasonix HV 200 (needs only a cheap adaptor for the cards on current laptops) or Sony’s new EX1.

It would help to know what kind of video your friend wants/needs to capture. SD only? The io would be a great choice and I’ve seen used ones selling for about 1000 U.S. Bound to be more available as the io-HDs get out there. As Walter pointed out they also have the analog only and digital only versions for about half the price of the full io box.
Convergent Design makes a similar product for SD, the SD Connect, which was also sold by Promax for awhile with their branding on it. I picked up one of those for $500 not too long ago.
MOTU has their new V3HD box out for SD and HD (DVC-Pro HD, that is) with a street price of under 2600 if you shop around. This is a really nice product which I’ve been using for about a month now. Very solid software. Runs on Mac and is supposed to run on PCs too, although I believe I read that they are still tweaking the PC software.
