There isn't a 1TB Hybrid out there right now unfortunately. There is only one 7200rpm 1TB 2.5" drive on the market right now and that is the Hitachi.
Yes there is. Seagate just came out with the 3rd generation hybrid drives, which now allow up to 1TB:

in fact, I have one as an external.(I put one in my cMBP a month a ago, but I got a SSD as a gift so now it's just in an external now)

I just installed the new Seagate Hybrid 1TB 2.5" (model#st 1000LM014) in my wife's mis 2010 13" MBP. Seagate no longer uses the moments name and now just call it Hybrid. Cost from B&H 119.00 and free delivery. She has been very satisfied with the speed increase so no need for a new computer for her yet, have a Samsung 500GB 840 EVO preordered for my 2011 15" MBP.
I would imagine only for 500 and 750GB Drives.(Even still, it won't be that huge of a difference) Almost all 1TB 2.5" HD Drives are 5400rpm anyway, so it will definitely be huge improvement for boot files and frequently used applications.
I was originally concerned with 5400rpm but that is not even noticeable. Seagate by the way no longer makes 7200 rpm drives as the blend of SSD and HDD more than makes up for the difference.
