Interesting Development. The corporate types won't tolerate this individualism of phones that can't be cracked.

What an Odd Couple partnership.

The Best user interface ‘Apple’ and the Worst user interface ‘SAP’.

SAP is the absolute worst business program I have ever used in my 33 years of using business software. Hands down worst user interface ever.

I know the accountants and number crunchers love it but day to day users hate the thing.

I've been developing for SAP for 20+ years on and off. The motto is

If it were any better we wouldn't let you have it.

If it was any worse you wouldn't use it.

One thing I can say for certain, in 5 years you won't even know it any more. The changes going on inside the product are Huge! That SAPGUI is the walking dead.

SAP on an iPhone? I cringe at the thought.

On an iPad it could be usable. It’s a pretty interesting corporate shift going from the anti-establishment to being right in the thick of it. Captain Cook must think the future is pretty bleak.

In my opinion it was dead when they trained me on it.

If they didn’t pay me to use it I certainly wouldn’t.

I would rather use the DOS system we had when I first came to work.
