I am planning to use 'Protocol Buffers' in one of my Java ME project
which requires server to send catalogs (possibly with images). Can I
send images (PNG format) using 'Protocol Buffers'?

With the type 'bytes', you can send arbitrary binary data.

The only limit is the 'reasonable size', i.e. your messages should
typically not be bigger than a couple of megabytes with an absolute
maximum of 2G ... but that will not be a problem for smallish images I
suppose.
