iPhone 4 vs Nexus One vs Evo 4G vs Droid Incredible

news June 15th, 2010

iPhone 4 is now officially announced and will be available very soon at an Apple store near you.

iPhone 4 is build on state of art hardware and software technologies, that no other smartphone offers. Apple iPhone is challenged by Android phones in recent days. Biggest advantage of Android is, it allows a huge amount of people and companies to collaborate on this OS. Any company who wants to make a smartphone based on Android can do so without paying a licensing fee. Smartphone companies are also free to modify the OS according to their requirements.

If you are still divided between choosing a right phone for you, folks over TiPB compared iPhone 4  specifications with Android giants Nexus One, HTC Evo 4G and Droid Incredible.

SAP on iPad: It’s All Going Mobile

apps, iPad June 13th, 2010

The iPad apps on display at SAPPHIRE NOW enable users to access SAP Business Suite 7, SAP BusinessObjects Crystal Reports 2008, enhancements for SAP Business ByDesign 2.5, and more. Join SAP.info as we tour the event floor!

Accessing SAP with iPad: HPI’s dunning app in action (photo: Frank Völkel)

The way the business world accesses its data is undergoing a phase of rapid upheaval. One tour of the SAPPHIRE NOW exhibition areas and it’s clear that many companies have not been able to withstand the magnetism of the iPad. Not only is nearly every stand giving away one of Apple’s new tablet computers at least once a day; a significant number of presenters are using the handy touchscreen device to access a wide variety of SAP software. An array of such apps are already available for iPad – such as the Hasso Plattner Institute’s dunning app for SAP Business ByDesign 2.5, displayed above – or are in the final stages of testing. With HPI’s app, for example, users can display open customer invoices in Google Maps based on their geographic location. In a demonstration at SAPPHIRE NOW, this data was loaded in real time from SAP Business ByDesign.

Even in the United States, iPad has sold out at nearly all Apple Stores throughout the country; most customers must now register on a waiting list to purchase the device. However, consumer demand was not the sole factor that drove Apple’s sales figures past the one-million mark in the device’s very month. At SAPPHIRE NOW in Orlando, you get the feeling that iPad may establish itself in the field of business even faster than iPhone.

More proof of this is seen in the many presentations involving complex business applications, where Apple’s computer interfaces are considered the ultimate in user-friendliness. The talk is often of small apps with which users can access larger SAP applications from their iPads and iPhones. For many SAP partners, this opens a new field of business – one that many would have not predicted just one year ago.

In the near future, everything will be mobile: various devices, the corresponding software, and any users who have not already made the transition. With the right tools and integration, employees will be able to work on and analyze any business data from anywhere by smartphone or tablet PC. It’s evident that most SAPPHIRE NOW attendees have developed something of a dependency on mobile connectivity, constantly checking their e-mail and synchronizing their appointment schedules during short breaks at the event.

SAP is also accelerating its development of software for mobile devices. It wants to become the world leader in mobile business software, particularly with platforms anddatabases from the recently acquired Sybase. SAP plans to address the full range of mobile devices in the future, from smartphones like iPhone and Blackberry to tablet computers like iPad. The conventional desktop PC is no longer a topic of conversation.

Here, we present a number of iPad apps that have debuted at SAPPHIRE NOW.

1. Syclo Smart Mobile Suite: Integrated with SAP Business Suite 7

2. Mellmo Roambi Visualizer: Business Intelligence

Syclo Smart Mobile Suite

Syclo is showing off its Smart Mobile Suite, a development platform for mobile devices that makes SAP Business Suite 7 integration possible. It also includes the following functions for SAP systems

  • Smart Service Manager
  • Smart Work Manager for SAP ERP
  • Smart Inventory Manager for SAP ERP
  • Smart Rounds for SAP ERP

Speaking with Syclo, it became clear that different devices need to be available for specific fields of use. Development platforms like Smart Mobile Suite thus have to support multiple mobile operating systems.

Die Smart Mobile Suite gibt es auch für iPhone, BlackBerry und andere Smartphones

Mellmo Roambi Visualizer for Business Intelligence

Mellmo is offering integration with SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2/3.0/3.1 based on its own Roambi Enterprise Server 3. Roambi Visualizer functions as an interface to Enterprise Server 3 for iPhone and iPad, making it possible to prepare data forgraphical presentation in business reports on the latter device. The data can take the form of RPT files created with Crystal Reports 2008 or earlier versions of the software. Users can also access non-SAP environments, such as IBM Cognos Reports 8.3/8.4 or later and Microsoft Reporting Services 2005/2008.

Apple continues to replenish stock and even has their own availability application on their site. The site requires you to drill down in order to check your local availability. Utilizing Apple’s JSON file, Chris Barnes has created a “mashup” providing quick access to iPhone 3G availability across the country. Apple Retail Stores are now opening at 8 a.m every day, but Sunday to accomodate the demand.

At last check, only 1% of stores throughout the US had no 3G iPhones in stock. 87% have the 8GB in stock, 98% have the 16GB white in stock and only 92% have the 16GB black iPhone 3G in stock.
