I've been developing for J2ME/Java-Me for several years and now I see based on download statistics of my applications, most of downloads (90%) comes from developing countries. So if your target users are not from Western countries - go ahead learn J2ME, otherwise learn Android and/or iPhone.

If I were you, I'd start learning to write apps for Android and iPhone.

Java ME may not be entirely dead, but you'll do much better with these. The potential market for your products is much bigger and keeps getting even bigger, and I bet it would be a lot more fun, too.
