From: Douglas J. Steele on 27 Jul 2010 13:25 AFAIK, yes, even if the phone's not a Windows Mobile device. i.e an iPhone (or iPad) should be able to work too. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://www.AccessMVP.com/DJSteele Co-author: Access 2010 Solutions, published by Wiley (no e-mails, please!)

They work great on my iPad. So, the answer is yes. When you create a SharePoint site, there is options to create a mobile phone view/site (in fact it done by default). However, I not looked into specific support for these Mobile sites using Access web services. (perhaps someone else who doing this now will chime in). The quality of rendering of the access applications on the iPad is just fantastic. Since my iPad is really a "big" iPhone", then rendering of the access applications on the iPhone should work well (but, they are bit small). To be fair, I did have to tweak a few buttons sizes and font sizes, but then again I likely would have had to do this for any computer running the Safari browser. Thankfully, Microsoft adopted open supported standards for SharePoint and that also thus means Access Web services. Hence no ActiveX or Silver light is required. A standard browser such as the one running on my iPad or Linux works just fine. This also means that smart phones with a web browser will work. I can't vouch for a decent experience in many cases, but I can say that it is VERY likely I will be producing some "small" reports for some customers to view sales numbers by hitting the SharePoint site with their SmartPhones.
