I spent some time reading JavaFX FAQ and it seems that JavaFX is continuing to make progress and is taking head-on Flash. Some of the intereesting points I noted were:

- There’s no authoring tool as of today, and is expected later in 2009.

- JavaFX mobile support is not there, but Sun is working with OEMs.

- JavaFX today supports Windows and MacOS.

- JavaFX has already been demonstrated on Android.

- JavaFX is built on the technology that Sun acquired from SavaJE.
