I don't think J2ME has much of a future for general use phones in rich countries, no. But it has a huge present, and a niche like this might be just fine for a startup, actually.
It's not that hard in and of itself. The problem is developing something for tons of devices, which this specific idea doesn't need to deal with at all; you'd just have one device.

Have you done any development with J2ME devices? In the past few years I've done it..it's been a nightmare
