I expect 480p but not simply because of cheaper hardware. The software is what really counts: HD development is way more expensive and Nintendo is having trouble with the Wii U's software development. They'll use a lower resolution screen because it will give their next handheld a lot of benefits:
- Lower software development costs
- No need for powerful hardware to run HD games
- Better battery life
- A handheld that is easier to build

There's a lot of advantages to a lower resolution screen.
