It probably means that they will make most PSP games download able. There are games that are that way so, wouldn't doubt it.

I'm a little disappointed at the lack of 2 analogue sticks, but I'm sure it'll be nice regardless
What a horrible night to have a curse!

I know that, but they're basically admitting the system is nothing but a pirating tool by getting rid of its primary licensed software format.

A download-only PSP is just retarded.

It won't play UMD's, but you can convert the data from them to put in the system somehow.

So, it's a PSP that people will only download games for...

It has a longer battery life (no disc spinning)
And in-store kiosks will convert UMDs to data so that they can be stored on the system (up to 10) and more on memory sticks.
