Correct: and "The Sims 3" was the best-selling iPhone game of 2009 (according to Electronic Arts).
I'd call this one "case proven" -- either Blizzard have a skunk works team working on an iPad client right now (maybe for release when the second-gen iPad shows up) or they're not trying, and the MMO-on-iPad niche will be occupied by someone else. (We're heading towards 20 million iPads sold within the next six months; to me, that suggests an 0.5-1M player MMO based on the iPad alone is feasible, and if there's an Android/ChromeOS client in the works, it's going to have a huge impact on gaming in the 1-5 year out time frame.)
