I asked the same question here a couple of months ago before buying, and was told that since the 3808 is "upgradeable", there weren't plans for a 3809.

I don't think the model numbers correspond with year...though I might be wrong. I believe, for instance, that the 2809 has been out for quite awhile. Of course, they might do the same as auto manufacturers and introduce model years early???
