Wunderground (Weather Underground) Has Two Mobile Websites: The Plain One is More Interesting

We've got a bit of rain and wind heading to my part of the world (remnants of a fizzled hurricane). There's certainly no shortage of weather info for the iPhone. But, I wanted more information than three free (and very good I should add) apps I have installed: AccuWeather, WeatherBug and The Weather Channel. I've been looking at the Wunderground.com (Weather Underground) site recently because of their easy to find detailed information and maps. Wunderground does not have an iPhone weather app. But, they had a mobile friendly website when I checked them out during last year's hurricane season. So, I took a look to see what they have in the way of mobile friendly information this year and found they have two mobile friendly sites.

i.wund.com

...is formatted specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch. It renders reasonably fast and provides a lot of basic weather inforamtion on a single page. It basically looks nice and provides what 90% of people want to read 90% of the time. But, I'm in the 10% group that wants a bit more. Surprisingly, I found a lot more at Wunderground's generic mobile friendly site found at...

m.wund.com

This generic mobile site provided what seems like a lot more inforamtion and what looks like near complete access to charts and graphs from the conventional website.
