Please advice considering all aspects. Im beginner to both. WIll have 2 learn n work on it. Options are j2me, android or bada. Im not considering bada. But which one should i work on considering market perspective aswell as my learning speed and comfortability.

I know java programming and j2ee.... javascript, jsp, perl, php etc....

Thanks in advance.

is it true that j2me is now getting extinct? android with a better future. and i know java and j2ee (jsp, javascript,html,xml,perl,php..) so would i be able to learn android without any coaching...i mean is it possible? or j2me is more easy 2 learn for me?

Enjoy~!

I had the same profile as yours..did J2ME a while back(just to be complete in java

) and I must say compared to the modern day smartphone applications J2ME is indeed very dated.

As both Android development and J2ME are based on Java, you should not have much problem learning any of them.

Learn android app devleopment and also learn developing apps for iOS (for which you would need a mac though).

A flasher, like each time you touch the screen, the whole color of the background (of the app) changes.

Is there any specific book to start with? Also i tried to run simple hello world app in eclipse it takes too much time to run.
