Am I missing something here? How come we haven't seen nor heard anything about 2010 version of these apps? If I recall correctly, they're historically out by now.
 
There was no iWork or iLife in 2007. It doesn't have to happen every year just because there's a year in the name. Apple have also dropped the '09 suffix from both iLife and iWork, implying there will be no release for some time.
 
There are now iLife '10 or iWork '10...

They are not updated every year and looks like because of Snow Leopard and iPad, Apple just had no time to develop them enough so we'll likely see iLife '11 and iWork '11 next year

Please use search as there are dozens and dozens of threads about this...

Generally apple has released iLife/iWork annually but there have been occasions where they skipped a year. Given the fact that we're now in the second quarter of 2010, I'd say we'll not see a 2010 version for the application suites.
 
Don't those usually go pretty much hand in hand with OSX releases? So I guess we won't see the next iWork and iLife until 10.7 is revealed.
 
iWork '06 - 10th January 2006
iWork '08 - 7th August 2007
iWork '09 - 6th January 2009

So iWork '10 (or iWork '11 as they'd probably call it) could be coming out August 2010 or around that time :)

Nope, we generally see an OS update 18 months where as prior ilife apps were generally released annually. Plus they were available at the beginning of the year and OSX was released during the summer or later.

Someone may have already stated this, but I predict that it will be released August 10, 2010. That's if history proves as an indicator. They seem to always release on Tuesday of the second week of the month whether it be 12 months or 18 months from the previous upgrade. The only exception, I believe, being the intial release.
