The DR800 is being released with the new viewers, the DR1000 will receive them in the future as a firmware update.
That is the most likely reason that writing isn't ready yet. They have probably been working on getting the "read only" mode of those new viewers completed and haven't had enough time to port the writing capability into them. That's probably also why they are not releasing the updates for the DR1000 yet.
I'm guessing that around the same time the DR1000 get it's firmware upgrade with the Adobe applications, the DR800 will receive the writing ability (the two are probably directly related).

Are you really guessing or are you just iRex's PR stooge with inside information ?
Of course, if iRex would make promises of firmware upgrades that include new applications then they would have to keep them. Unlike them you can keep people hooked for them without them having to risk breaking yet another promise. So who provides you with your information ?
Frankly, I don't think it's probable that all of what you say will happen, it is more probable that iRex will continue not to deliver on their promises and has become very cautious about adding more.
It is also very likely that at some point promised new features for the DR will not appear for the DR anymore but end up in new devices from iRex ... and that people with a DR will be in a situation where they actually have to pay iRex for a new device to get said promised features.
