My take is that they already have all the firmware needed to enable these feature this is not a technical problem but a business decision on their part. Every company does this.
They are in the middle of changing their software over from an open source poppler based viewing engine to an Adobe viewing engine.

They already have those features today on the DR1000 poppler software. They are going to release the DR1000 Adobe software once they finish putting those features back in. The DR800 uses the Adobe software without those features (which is why it's firmware is out but the DR1000's isn't yet).

Technically once they get those extra features done, they could add them to both devices. They are still deciding whether or not to do so.

Completely different set of hardware/software.
