Er, a GSM can receive a SMS from the internet, too. Depends on the site
(yahoo.com used to have such a feature, IIRC).
I'm afraid that what you call "All over the Air technology" are just special
SMS or network commands received by the GSM terminal and executed as well.
This technology was used successively by GEMPLUS's SIM "Phase 2", GEMPLUS's
"Phase2+", which was also called "Proactive SIM".
If the "Phase2" technology wasn't that used (mainly 'cause it wasn't
standardized), the "Phase2+" technology is described be GSM standards 11.14
and is widely used.

Why not considering a logo download & change as programming, then ? (But I
have to agree, I guess some people really are like that).

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, mobile programming *is* made of something like C, C++,
assembler or whatsoever. Real programming. Damn', that's so good !
