The DR800 is being released with the new viewers, the DR1000 will receive them in the future as a firmware update.
That part has been publicly stated by iRex. Whether you believe them or not is up to you, but that's where the information comes from.

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).
That part is just guessing.
