I thought this is less of an issue with better GPU and prevalence of more flexible (and zoom friendly) mobile rendering engines?
There's even a huge dpi change between iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4.

Certainly. BUT. What's preventing website authors doing it NOW ? You can already serve up completely different/adjusted sites with current technologies, and yet, people don't do that, it's more important to fit in the paradigm of the host OS than to adhere to standards - which (while not apparent at first) *wrong* - imagine for example that in Windows you would have to doubleclick URLs to open them or that the site's CSS would get completely overridden by the OS' theme. It's a step back because you bring in OS/app dependency the web fought so hard to get rid of.
I haven't been following mobile websites. I hate them for the most part and I change the useragent on my browsers to force full version (even on my iPhone) unless I'm roaming to a small country without favorable partnership with my mobile provider and charges an arm and a leg for cell data.

I think I would use them if they offer ("the promised") html5 mobile version though.
