I personally think this is a great comination for embedded products.

Access Inc. also aquire PalmSource and CMT last year. That makes me imagine that they surely will have a total solution for mobile devices.

Especially for smartphone.

Now, Access become a respectly competitor to Microsoft. Beware! Microsoft, Access is coming!
