Question firmware updates on the DS?

i had a PSP ; sold it a while ago & am soon going to get a DS lite. i had a question, like the PSP, does the DS get firmware updates via Wifi or PC connect? if not ; is there another way Nintendo evolves the DS ( i.e. adding PDA functionality, etc ) ? OR is there no real evolving aspect of the DS?

There's been no official firmware updates so far, but I still have some hope left after hoping for it since launch in 2004. There are homebrew firmware updates that require special hardware.
I actually created a thread about firmware updates a month after the DS was released, you might find some interesting conversations there. http://www.touchds.com/forums/ds-wi-...dates-400.html

The DS isn't a multimedia device, so unless they update Pictochat to go online, or some other feature, there's not much reason to update it.

I have heard of DS goin' to PICTOCHAT ONLINE but I don't think it's gonna be quite good, just like anything else that just comes out, with the information transfering such as Drawings, Words, etc.
The only way of Pictochat Online is with clubhouse games:http://my.opera.com/Nplus/blog/show.dml/427972
