SAP WebGUI has another name called ‘SAP GUI for HTML‘. This UI technology is based on integrated ITS and present all the data in the browser. The SAP WebGUI generates HTML pages for every SAP screen. This means you do not have to create any templates. There are some technical restrictions due to the browser, however, and certain transactions may not function in the SAP GUI for HTML.

Configurations in IOs Device
There is an applications in Apple market place ‘SAP Launcher’. You can download this application and install on the device. By providing connection details you can easily connect to sap webgui. I presume that you have connected to Wifi of your local office network.
Configurations in Android Based Device
You do not have sap gui application directly available for android devices. In this case we will make use of SAP WebGui.
As webgui works with host name resolution we will add host entry in android devices. For this I have used an application ‘ hosts editor ‘ which is available in android market. By this application you can maintain host entry similar to windows pc.
You can access webgui through following url
http://hostname:8000/sap/webgui?sap-client=client-number
