it's more of a question of focus from the two people who run the game between iphone apps and graal
and to answer you and stefan:

an MMO on the road would be much more active and simpler, in terms of making people go on it. on a PC you have the luxury of doing other things as you also play video games, but phones can almost do that as well, and everywhere. graal would be a simple enough platform for this type of MMO, as it (shouldn't) be that graphic intense, and isn't complicated with controls that the phone (iphone at least) couldn't adapt to easily. honestly, it takes about 3 seconds to log onto graal, and then log off. that's the perfect setup for a phone type MMO where people are on the go; maybe add in a playerlist that's usable for accounts online but have their phone locked, just like text-messages function - i bet people would go on it or pay a cheap fee for it
and even if they don't go down any type of route such as i proposed, the focus doesn't exactly seem to be on their PC games (read: graal)
