James Gosling had a lot to say about JavaFX Script and JavaFX Moble at JavaPolis 2007. The video of the Q&A session with James Gosling [1] has just been posted in which he addresses audience questions, a few of which relate to JavaFX.

The video is twenty-five minutes long, and there is an index that enables you to go directly to each of the questions:

Particulary relevant to JavaFX are the answers that Dr. Gosling gives to the "Where is Swing Going", "What is the future of Java in the RIA space?", and "Why would I use JavaFX instead of Flex?" questions. It's worth a listen!
