I think they used Slim & Lite to describe it simply because those are the most distinct changes that this newer version of the PSP will have. There really isnt very much need to revamp its design considering the original PSP is already an aesthetic marvel..

An important difference between DS and DS Lite with the PSP and the PSP Slim is that the PSP Slim will be phasing out its older counterpart. Sony has already ceased production of the older PSPs, so this should be seen as something like a 2nd generation PSP instead of a different version that will be produced concurrently..

In any case the Slim is superior to the PSP by a fair bit, like the doubling of its RAM capacity and the reduced weight and extended battery life... all are pretty minor changes but minor things add up to make the difference... and the PSP was really that good to begin with already.
