There are three types of carts that are going to be released: DS Carts (Out Now, regular), DSi Enhanced Carts, and DSi Carts

DSCarts - Will be playable on ALL 3 DS Systems. (DS,DSLite,DSi)

DSi Enhanced Carts will be playable on ALL 3 DS systems but the games that use these carts will have some functionlaity exclusive to DSi. (If it uses the camera,downloads, etc)

DSi Carts will ONLY BE PLAYABLE on DSi.

THERE IS NO REGION LOCK ON DS GAMES. ALL RETAIL DS GAMES CAN BE PLAYED ON ANY SYSTEM FROM ANY REGION

DSiWare games ARE REGION LOCKED! YOU CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD AND PLAY DSiWARE GAMES FROM YOUR REGION.

This is the operative assumption most of us operate under, we are well aware. Anecdotal evidence to the contrary, though, merits investigation.

 

Actually Durring GDC Nintendo announced that the DSi would have enhanced ds games and exclusive games only playable on the dsi

"Speaking with MTV, Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime said "Our expectation is that most of the content will be, call it, DSi-enhanced vs. DSi-exclusive." 

"Why? One hundred-million installed base of DS. Developers are going to want to leverage that installed base and yet they’ll want to provide extra content via the features of the DSi, like the camera. That’s my expectation as to how it will play out." 

Asked whether the new Zelda will be enhanced for DSi, Reggie just teased saying "wouldn't that be nice." "
