Gotta look at it from the DR1000 side too. (Potential) owners of that device pay a good deal more (than DR800 owners) for a device of which some of the functionality is still not delivered (a proper suspend for example -- and some will even be removed, for a while or forever, with 2.0), while a lot of the company's attention goes to the DR800.

The DR800 is no doubt a great device, but it would be foolish of iRex to drop the ball on the DR1000 altogether along the way. As we can see by the speed at which new firmware versions are delivered, the company can only do so much in any given period of time. Bad management? How about limited resources?
