Nintendo Wii Competitors

Nintendo Dsi and original Ds compatibility?
on wikipedia it said this:
"Similar to its competitor, the PlayStation Portable, and Nintendo's own Wii console, the DSi has upgradable firmware; a first for a Nintendo handheld system. All existing homebrew flash cards for the Nintendo DS and DS Lite are incompatible with the DSi,[32] but DSi compatible flashcards are now being produced - the first one was created by Acekard."
what does this mean?
what is homebrew and flashcard ?
will original ds games be able to be played on the new DSi?
will the wireless and wifi connection between an old DS and DSi work?
1. The DSi will be able to play all DS games, but it will unable to play GBA games.
2. Homebrew refers in general to unofficial video games created by amateur programmers, generally distributed over the internet. Flashcards are the little chips on which DS games are printed (the game cartridge). Homebrew game creators design the games to be put on blank SD cards so that these unofficial games can be played on the DS. What this article says is that the blank carts for the DS will not work for the DSi.
3. As far as the wifi, I'm not sure, but I would imagine that the two systems will be able to "talk" together.
