I also use this very much when outside.

Most amazing use was when I was in a trip to a customer, on a motorcycle, through one of the Israeli farming areas in the north of the country, and another customer, from Tel Aviv, called me with an emergency that needed me to connect to his server and act.

I stopped the bike at the side of the road, took my UMPC, connected via ICS with Bluetooth to my Samsung Blackjack (actually the European i600, wich is called Blackjack here), and in a question of seconds I had Remote Desktop with the customer's server. I was myself amazed by the slow time to get it going. Here we have UMTS and HSDPA, so the connection speed was amazingly fast, just like in a broadband connection.
