mattw, the rifle is fully ambi as is, with controls on both sides. A Kel-Tec rep (the second shooter featured in the video) posts at ktog.org under "ktwm" with all sorts of information. Some excerpts:
-3 Versions: Carbine (18" barrel), Sporter (24" barrel), and Targer (32" heavy barrel).
-chrome lining is likely for the chamber and bore on the carbine, and only the chamber for the target and sporter model though this is not set in stone.
-All versions have threads to mount a free-floating 4 sided picatinny rail (carbine model has a shorter rail available) or bipod mounts, or bayonet lugs on the carbine.
-Safety lever, mag release, and bolt stop are fully ambidextrous.
-the operating handle reciprocates with the action and can be easily moved to either side of the rifle (I think I can do it in 5 seconds using only a cartridge as a tool)
-Field stripping is also fast and easy and only requires the use of a cartridge to press out the 2 captured assembly pins. these 2 pins are then pulled out, grip assembly is rotated down, rear cover is pulled straight out, carrier is pulled back, operating handle is removed and then carrier is slid out.
-dual recoil springs are full captured. Bolt is captured but can be rotated away from the carrier for cleaning and to remove the firing pin pin, which releases the firing pin. the dual extractors are not removed for fieldstripping but can be fully accesed and cleaned.
-to clean the gas system and ejector chute you again use a cartridge to depress the captured assembly pin at the front of the rifle, pullout the pin, rotate the forend down, pull the ejector chute straight out which removes the clip form the gashead. pull the piston pin, then pull the piston out.
-gas operation is achieved using a captured short-stroke piston with sealing rings and a detented adjustable gas vent.
-threads on the end of the barrel are 5/8-24
-The 5 way adjustable trigger will come standars on the 32" barrel target model. the other 2 models will have the EXACT SAME TRIGGER MECHANISM, but the adjustability will be removed. (they will still be very good triggers). the adjsutable trigger group will be available for purchase.
- the 5 adjustments on the trigger are: forward stop, rear stop, trigger spring pressure, sear trip stop, and sear trip spring pressure.

He's been very responsive to reader comments and questions (with in reason, of course) and has suggested the next video... well, I'll let you read his post:
all the coments that are posted here (and other places) will be taken into account when the next video is made and released. I don't know when that will be, but there will be another video. (probably months from now)
some of the things which will most likely be in the next video are:
Left and right handed shooting
ejection chute obstruction
clearing the weapon and verifying an empty chamber
angled up ejection
different barrel length shooting
disassembly/reassembly
and whatever else might come up.

I'm very interested in this rifle, my only reservation (besides timing and price) is with the gun built entirely around the barrel... what happens if you shoot out the barrel?
