Potentially habitable, sure. A surface gravity of 1.5G or so would be no impediment to life evolving there. The next generation of space telescopes will be able to determine the atmospheric composition of some exoplanets. If they detect free oxygen, it's pretty much a dead giveaway that there's life.
