The FileMaker Go app is able to tie back into a FileMaker server via a network and/or internet connection so it will sync as long as you have an internet connection and your firewall setup correctly. Looks to me like Microsoft is pushing more towards using Sharepoint for this kind of stuff. Using the browser in the mobile device. That's not a bad idea, that way there's no app to install and maintain for each mobile os. I gotta find me some more hours in the day to learn all of this stuff.

Up through Windows Mobile 2003 (Maybe even in WM5, I can't remember at the moment) you could have CDB (Compact version of mdb) on devices. I was very easy to bring data back and forth between device and PC. cdb's were deprecated by MS when they brought out SDFs (SQLCE). You could still connect with ADO and copy stuff between the SDF and mdbs or SQL Server. SQL CE was supported by WM5/6. MS dropped support for this when they released WM7. I dropped support for MS after that :P I'm currently learning Android Development and plan to start learning Apple programming next semester. At least they both share SQLLite.
