Any ETA on the components? How rich? For my personal needs its things like tables with sortable columns with lots of values, so you need to lazily load subsets of the data (not download the whole lot and search). Fairly typical database access stuff. Another thing that I was confused about was the ability of all the RIA platforms to embed richly marked up content (say XHTML) for display purposes. For example, think of a mail client with summary lists, lots of mail in your inbox, and HTML marked up email messages. This could a cool demo too as you could hook the javax.mail libraries directly in, doing IMAP etc completely in the one program - no sever side required. An example of something JavaFX could do that Flex could not. (Flex I believe would require a server process to talk to in order to do the IMAP side of things.)
