SharePoint 2010 Inline Editing
In line list editing is another cool new feature that can be offered to your users in order to speed up data entry. The most accurate description is that its kind of like the next evolution of the datasheet view except its a little more user friendly to use but doesn’t offer the ability to edit multiple records at one time.
In order to enable in line editing, which isn’t enabled on lists by default, firstly modify the default view by going to List Tools -> List -> Modify View
Modify View
Then expand the Inline Editing option and select the ‘Allow inline editing‘ checkbox, then press OK to save the changes to the current view

Now you have a new little icon on the far left side of the list view as shown below, click on it and you can see the inline editing experience which is pretty cool actually!

You can see that you have access to drop downs, text fielsd and related links. Unfortunately for calendar controls looks like you can only enter in a text date and that you can’t have links to look up lists but I am sure that this might change in the RTM version.
Enjoy
