@Jordan: You'd be surprised, with the marked exception of Verizon phones who use their competitive BREW system for development (wait, that's not true anymore either), J2ME is essentially ubiquitous for cell phone development, and is supported widely on Set-Top boxes and other mobile devices. If anything, I was actually going to say that J2ME's probably got the widest user base, followed shortly by J2EE since that's involved deeply with the internet.

Nearly everyone has access to J2SE, though no one knows it. :P People know they've "downloaded Java" for the internet, but that's really it. So as far as used goes, J2SE I'd say is the least, but it's also the most commonly distributed. J2EE is least commonly distributed since it's only really useful for servers, but it's used by nearly anyone who uses the internet. J2ME is used by anyone who doesn't have a Verizon phone.

However, this comparison is difficult since learning Java means pretty much knowing how to develop with any of these platforms (they are the same language, after all) and they all have enormous user bases.
