I don't use an iPhone myself, just the iPad, so it's come in handy when on a friends/work mates wifi and wanting to check email, access content on home LAN etc. On rare occasion I use free wifi, will also use VPN for all traffic.
I also do the same with my R2D2 Droid ie connect thru VPN. I don't trust other peoples network too much. View most as the seedy part of town where I make sure my doors are locked when I park.
Most of the time tho, I just use Artoo's wifi hotspot for wifi access for the iPad and VPN traffic on the iPad.
