Depends on what you mean by progress.
I personally don't think that a hundred different platform-optimized versions of a page is progress, I think it sounds like 1996.
Then again, I have neither phone currently so maybe it is a tragedy.

That's a valid point, I guess my counter-argument would be, with the iPhone, Android and the Palm Pre all using WebKit as the basis for the mobile browser, and with Google making such a big deal about how "iPhone optimized" their stuff is, it seems odd for this feature to disappear. Better mobile browsers ARE the future. Keeping everything at WAP standards just doesn't make sense, though I think your point about supporting tons of different standards is right-on.
On a personal level, I don't care -- I don't use iGoogle enough for it to matter -- but the optimized site WAS a better user experience.
