I don't find this that surprising. I also don't think Java has "struggled" as much in the desktop world as the article implies. The fact is that so many programmers today learn Java as a required language if they're going to get a job anywhere, so it's a natural one for them to want to program in. This makes it easy for them to program applications for mobile phones.
