I believe 2010 will be the year Leapfrog will innovate, they have gone very long without some real innovation and I think soon, they will introduce Leapfrog HD.

Actually , we are probably due a new system from Leapfrog. They come out with them about every six months in an effort to frustrate parents, forcing them to upgrade.

Of course, Nintendo does not believe in screwing consumers over to this degree. Hence it has tended to maintain some BC in the initial releases of its handhelds and made an effort this generation to keep last generation gamers able to play their games.  A Wii HD would destroy that because the cost of the direct BC or UG path would make the console cost prohibitive compared to the value it would bring. (I am speaking here with respect to existing Wii games, not Gamecube games).

Instead, Nintendo will do what Nintendo has always done -- it will bring out its next console when it wants to and it will do something different.

Smellivision anyone?

Smellivision is probably at least as accurate as Pacther!
