Not thinking about Pentax in specific, but I think DSLRs are an
endangered species from a development perspective.
But not from a sales & popularity perspective apparently. Check out the
charts in this article:

The story is that according to Flickr's statistics (based on reading
EXIF info in uploads), the Apple iPhone 4 is about to overtake the Nikon
D90 as the most popular camera on that site.
But if you look at the downward trend in the Canon P&S chart (bottom of
page) it's pretty clear that cameraphones are eating up the market for
small P&S cameras.
The Nikon D90's trend on Flickr is upward and still climbing. So
cameraphones and mid-range DSLRs are happily co-existing. No immanent
death or decline prediction for DSLRs there.
