Gadgetell | Tech News, Reviews, and Interesting Things

With the economy the way it is, keeping track of your spending compared to your income is a very good idea.  Sure, there are plenty of ways to do it on paper by balancing your check book, or creating a monthly budget.  Computer applications both desktop and cloud-based can also help with this.  But, wouldn’t it be nice if you could do it all in one device?

Designer Eun-Gyeong Gwon has a nice looking concept gadget that would do just that.  Called the Supervision, it’s able to pull together all the information possible for your expenses.  It would have a touchscreen so that each way of using it can be different, from the calculator, to graphs showing your income compared to your income and bank account with information it can pull from your bank.  It has a scanner to scan any receipt you have, so there’s no real manual input for anything bought in brick-and-mortar stores.

While something like this is obviously a long way off, the Supervision would be quite a handy gadget.  Though, it wouldn’t surprise me if before this was ever thought of being put into production, a cell phone app would come out and do the same thing.  It would make the most sense on either a BlackBerry of Android phone, but there’s no reason an application can’t do all if not most of what the Supervision would be able to.  I know an application like this could easily help push me one way between an iPhone, G1 or BlackBerry Bold.
