Microsoft InfoPath 2010 uses data connections that comply with the Universal Data Connection (UDC) file schema and typically have either a *.udcx or *.xml file name extension.

Another SharePoint Server 2010 feature which cannot go unnoticed is the Access Services. Access Services is a service in SharePoint Server 2010 that allows administrators to view, edit, and configure a Microsoft access application within a Web Browser. Access Services settings support backup and recovery, regardless of whether there is a UI setting in Central Administration. However, backup and recovery only apply to service-level and administrative-level settings; end-user content from the Access application is not backed up as part of this process. Access Services has Windows PowerShell functionality that can be used to provide the service that uses settings from a previous backup; configure and manage macro and query setting; manage and configure session management; and configure all the global settings of the service.

Yes, this is the new era where small gadgets are taking place. Though every mobile phone or PDAs can access the web, still it suffers from interoperability and usability problems. Partly due to the small physical size of the screens and the incompatibility of many mobile devices to gather much information in the internet.
Mobile internet will be a huge success given a year or two. At that point in time, mobile networks will provide one-gigabit-per-second-minimum speed, anywhere, anytime. Dominant access gizmo will be mobile, with intense communications characteristics. However, not everyone could feel this thrill by then since mobile phones will have a price increase more than what we expected.
