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.

Subject: (keitai-l) BREW Apps, J2ME
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.
