That does not make sense. The explosion in Java on cell-phones means
a greater interest in Java generally, a greater demand for Java
skills, and more places to exploit your own entrepreneurial Java
tendencies.

Java ME has imploded in the cellphone market in recent years.

And Java SE is not there.

The only thing out there is Android.

You could say that is not bad, but Java certainly has
its challenges in the cellphone market.
