Salesforce Data Service does not work: No COMPONENT named recordPreview found

Question

I'm building a Lightning Component for a record detail page. For this Lightning Component I need some data of the record itself. I found something really cool that fits my needs but can't seem to get it working because of a strange error.

I've used the Salesforce Data Service to load the data of the concurring record. Explained in the Developer Guide here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/data_service_load_record.htm

When I try to save the example I'm getting the following error:

Failed to save undefined: No COMPONENT named recordPreview found: Source

Did anyone else encountered this before and was able to fix it?

Thanks!

Lightning Data Service is currently in Developer Preview, which means that you won't be able to use it in a Production or Sandbox org. You'll need a Developer Org to try it. You can get one here.

This means that you won't be able to create a component for Production with Lightning Data Service in Winter '17.

Note that when I tried it was not enabled in my old Developer org, I had to create a new one to have LDS.
