Well, there was plenty of speculation about whether or not it would happen, but I can confirm it!
I just bought the new iDOLM@STER DS game, which uses the camera so you can take pictures of QR-codes and unlock new outfits and content. I tried putting it in my American DSi and the game refuses to register, it says that nothing is inserted in the slot. I then put it into my Japanese DSi and it ran fine. I also tried it on my American DSlite, and it also ran no problem on that.
I guess that we can safely say that games with DSi-specific features and full DSi titles will be region locked in the future. What a pain...
