Java ME valuation was always going to crash with or without Android, it was an astonishingly bad product constrained by pre-smartphone design decisions, had Android tanked WebOS would have had the same effect on its valuation (the whole point of Java ME was to pretend handhelds were not full-blown computers and did not need a full-blown execution environment).
