It's not that I don't like the idea. I just think it's *very* dangerous.
I've added it to the list anyways. (And in the cases that I haven't added them to the list, it's most likely because there already is a widget for that purpose.)
If we were talking about page-scraping and HTTP requesting Online Banking websites, that'd be a different story (and questionably legal at best). But like lcuk said, if you're using the service you're using it. There's no more risk by having the data on my desktop of my n900 than there would be of having the data in my SMS inbox, which I'm going to have anyway.
I think I'm probably going to go ahead and start working on this anyway, assuming nobody else does. And if they do, I'll work with them on it
Once I get the n900 wallpapers and themes sites done.

Text any of these commands to VNCTY(86289) and receive your account information on your phone.

- ACT <account nickname> - To Access the account activity of a specific account
- BAL - To access the balance of your primary account
- BAL ALL - To access the balances of all your accounts
- BAL <account nickname> - To access the balance of a specific account
- DISABLE - To temporarily disable your phone
- HELP - To access a list of the commands you can use
- INFO - To access contact info about Vancity
- STOP - To permanently delete your phone

I've heard the Fremantle calendar doesn't currently sync to Google Calendar. Would it be possible to get a widget that shows upcoming Google Calendar Events (similar to the home widget for the N8X0s - I believe it's called mgCal). It may work on Fremantle, but I don't know if the style matches the Fremantle style.
I like all other widgets except the banking I dont know I just dont feel safe in having my account disclosures in my desktop and anybody looking at my phone seeing that, I just want to keep that simple and keep it in clouds: go to the banks website and check my account. But this is just my opinion.

"Recent calls" -- one quick tap ro redial recent numbers (maybe configurable list length, incoming vs outgoing etc)
Not sure how useful this would be, but the most frequent phone calls I make are to a quite limited number of people. Might be smooth to have ultra-quick access to those. Also handy when repeatedly trying to reach someone.
