I submitted a brainstorm proposal for a Mobile Banking Widget. Here's the brief: I think it would be really useful to have a widget on the desktop which shows an overview of your accounts and their balances, maybe updated once a day or on demand, or something. I figure it would be a simple text output: CHQ1 $160.54 SAV1 $1401.76 RENT $600.00 BILLS $55.02 Most banks and credit unions these days supply a SMS based mobile banking system, where you text say, "bal all" (balance all) to their 5 digit (in north america) sms number. They then return a message like (example from vancity): Balance BAL1: $xx.xx BAL2: $xx.xx BAL3: $xxx.xx Up to 6 in one message. Theoretically you could have the device parse the incoming message and store the data for the widget. A timer could be run to send a "bal all" sms message to the specified number once in a while to retrieve new data. As most people have extremely high text plans (1000+) this shouldnt be an issue.
