I think it'll be this year.
The DSi was in part a defensive co-opt against cheap downloadables, as are available on more portable devices these days. While I don't think the iphone will disrupt Nintendo they are right to be cautious.
But the DSi doesn't have the advantages for cheap downloadables to really work to their potential. The payment methods on DSi are not as convenient as on others, and the connection methods are both a barrier to entry and tied down.
This is why I expect a network integrated DS soon.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
