I have a feeling the DR1000 software update is taking so long because it is a merger of the DR1000 and DR800 software. They obviously can't ship the ADE update for the DR1000 with a bunch of features missing that were there before, so they are working to port them back into the 3.x branch. At least that's my best guess, and it also would explain why the ADE software for the 1000, and the annotation update for the 800 are planned to release close together.
That said, I'm playing with the DR800 SDK, and it looks like the general assumption is that we have to use a set of button widgets to create a toolbar on the screen if we want them.
I'm a bit confused how developers are expected to ship full apps for the DR800 though. It looks like plugins will work easily enough, but unless the documentation is incomplete (which it is), there doesn't appear to be a way to get these to appear in any sort of programs list or on the home screen.
