If it's like BREW in the USA ... no, you cannot freely download apps.
DRM (Digital Rights Management) is a big part of Brew.  Apps have to be
'signed' much in the same manner as ActiveX controls on the web.

I know that some of this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find 
anything of use in the archives...

I recently purchased the new A5306ST from AU.  It's a BREW phone (I
wanted 
BREW because I liked the BREW version of EZ@NAVI).

I was wondering, is it possible to download (purchase) BREW applications

from sites other than AU's catalog?  I'm especially interested in
finding 
English-capable programs.  Also, are there any good English sites for
AU's 
BREW apps/phones?  So far I have been unable to find any English
information 
regarding keitai on AU/KDDI's site (only saw the www.kddi.com/english
page, 
which seems to only have corporate info and info about other services).

Last question... I know that some Java virtual machine implementations
exist 
for BREW, but are there any that can actually be downloaded?  I work at
a 
company that develops Java apps for keitai; I would like to try to run
them 
on my phone.

Thanks for the help.
