A bit more about JavaFX Mobile
JavaFX Mobile - Latest Mobile OS describes that JavaFX Mobile is a complete phone system software based on Linux and sporting Java VM 6, which means it has much more functionality, and is much closer to Java SE and CDC, than current MIDP-focused phone implementations are. That in itself can hinder the uptake, as CDC hasn't had any success so far. When Sun says '2 billion phones with Java', it's pretty much all MIDP.
I don't understand the 'Possibilities' part of the note. That seems to be a misunderstanding. JavaFX Mobile and JavaFX Script are two very different things: A mobile application platform and a script language for clients and servers, respectively.

The part about Yahoo Go! being based on JavaFX Mobile was a misunderstanding. You were correct to note that it is a layer on top of CDC and native Linux services and kernel. Yahoo Go! might show up on JavaFX Mobile OS devices when/if they come to market, but I spoke with Bob Brewin (Sun CTO) about this and the demo of Yahoo Go! was just a proof of concept. Eventually Sun may release a version of JavaFX Mobile that will be supported on CLDC, but they've got a lot of work to do before this will be possible.
