Zynga is a very sucessful company, infact there is a company called Blue Frog Gaming that is only 10 min. from where I live that has made a few great app games "can't think of the titles off of my head" and I see my first job possibly being with them. I'm not against the app and facebook market infact I can be kicking myself in the butt 5 - 10 years from now for not specializing in that area. I'm all for new markets opaning up and increaseing the span of game development. Some of my smaller scripts might work for that area, but I don't see MMO's being supported on them for a loooong time but who knows.
Eh, there's already a (small) MMO on the iOS platform that a few of my iPhone-wielding WoW friends are addicted to.
Granted it's obviously not to WoW's standards (or most other decent MMOs), but as tech advances, so will the ability to use them for games.
We never thought we'd see PSX graphics on a handheld as small as an iPhone, and that's already here (and more; look at the graphics of Infinity Blade on the iPad), so who knows what the future holds; it's only game devs pushing what's possible currently that keeps tech progressing for gaming.
