Hello, 

 In this past week the Application Showcase on the  JavaFX.com community page has featured 

• A niffty looking Image Viewer which gets pictures from Flickr using WebServices APIs and renders the same.  
• memeFX A set of  rich freely evolving JavaFX components
• and a JavaFX google maps mashup.

 

This and other applications received some good press. In addition Raghu writes about creating a tool tip for a node and another twist on webservices and maps based apps, can be seen on Vaibhav's blog post.
