There are indications, such as the tiny University pilot programs, that the KDX might initially be in limited supply. However, this is limited supply for Amazon's high volume. They probably expect to sell more per week than iRex does per year.
If Amazon does not start shipping in volume by late August they will have a public relations nightmare on their hands.
The KDX announcement is an opportunity for significantly increased sales of the DR1000S if iRex reduced their price a bit. However, I assume that the reason they raised the initial price is that they were already delivering all the devices they are capable of making.
