Nature, which published the research papers on this find, has a free(!) writeup:
Little lady of Flores forces rethink of human evolution | Nature
Read Henry Gee's column while you're there. Neat stuff.
The bones were not fossilized, but were soggy and fragile. I'll read the papers themselves this evening, and see if they indicate anything about the chances of DNA recovery. In the tropics, I'd guess it's not likely.
