I have been looking at making cellphone apps/games, and it seems like Flash is pretty limited. The best thing to do would be to program in Java ME. I glanced at the language, and it seems identical to AS3 in a lot of ways. It even uses the same methods??

Any tips to learning Java if I already have knowledge of AS3?
