JavaFX is a Sun language to develop rich applications for the desktop. Their intent was to make GUI application development easier and more flexible. It never really enthusiam the Java community. I too was not convinced by it. There's already many solutions to develop desktop aplications, being Flex, probably, the toughest competitor. So, although JavaFX for the desktop is far from being a success, it could become one in another area.
Recently, Sun released a new version that brings JavaFX to the mobile phones. I think this are interesting news, because there's really a lot to improve in the mobile phone area. Java has a big percentage in the mobile world, with J2ME, but having a better tool for designing applications would be great. Although I don't have much experience with J2ME, the little experiments that I've made showed a restrictive and cumbersome SDK to work with.
I think this are good news for the developers. At least, I'm finally curious about trying JavaFX. As for the business itself, we have to wait. It also depends on the VM and more specifically on its performance. There's no point on having beautiful (or easily developed) but slow apps.
