How user interfaces should be like.

... Computer users should be able to access their most frequently used screen immediately, and perform routine tasks without changing screens and with a minimum of keystrokes. The system should also lead the user through the logical sequence of operations. Once a computer has been informed of the item code being worked on, it should retain that code and not require its re-entry. Data that are already on file should, of course, be accessed by the system and should not need to be entered again once the initial information has been established.

Written on a WM6 Smartphone ... Oh! The irony.
