Ever heard of this magical thing called a VPN? :)
Sure, but, why deal with the overhead? Who wants to have to login to a VPN every time just to quickly retrieve or send some email?
Indeed, that bypasses all those crappy local networks; and yes don't worry your iToy also has more than ample VPN abilities.
Some do, some don't, and not all networks are any friendlier to VPNs than they are to port 25.
