If WiFi sales are good, and all indications look as though they are very good for the new K3s, then I would expect Amazon to release a WiFi version of the DX at some point. However, I suspect that will be next year. The current DX Graphite was produced using the FCC approval attained in 2009 for the original DX. This piggy-backing on the original DX FCC approval indicates that both use the same 3G hardware. To add a WiFi card will require Amazon to attain FCC approval and the last time I checked they had nothing on file with the FCC that I could find in regards to the DX Graphite line. So the delay in shipping DX Graphites is most likely related to supply and demand and not to a newer model on the horizon. At least I hope so.
