want to learn to write/program application for phones. where do I start?

[semidevil]

I'm a total novice when it comes to programming. I took a intro to java class in college, but did not get too interested in it.

I would like to get back into programming, but focus on things that I am interested in.......which is creating applications for phones(phones in this forums).

So the question is where do I start? Is there a specific language? What type of programs do I need to download if any to start get my feet wet?

I'm not a programmer, so I would need to start from the bottom. I know this can take a while, but I want to start and see what happens.

any suggestions?
