J2ME is still used for some, but the Android API is probably where it's at for Java development on mobile phones these days. The Android API is all Java as well, but you have more freedom and access to more libraries than J2ME. I found going from J2ME to Android to be very straight forward.

I personally think Android adoption is going to be big, just yesterday the CEO of Google hinted at big things to come:

iPhones are a big deal, no doubt about it. I was just offering a suggestion for sticking with Java.

You gotta think though too, while apple has only one phone in a years time Android will be running on a dozen or more potentially...
