WIFI security tips
There are several security options for you. I'll list a couple that are 100% free.
A free VPN solution is to use LogMeIn.com (offers free yr-round access), or GoToMyPC.com (offers 1 month free trial) - Either one of the VPN solutions will give you at least 128-bit SSL encryption which is secure enough to be used in the corporate environment. These both work very well on my X51V.
As far as e-mails, you're probably better off using mail2web.com to access any of your web-based e-mails - be sure to click on "Secure Login." Unlike some web-based e-mails (i.e., aol.com, etc) that only provide you with secure https only when you login, and not while browsing e-mails, and so forth.
These, should be enough to address your WIFI security concerns, while on an open WIFI hotspot or public networks.
For hotels, I use my Linksys (Cisco) G Travel Router (WTR54GS) which has good WPA+TKIP/AES encryption - this is significantly better than using WEP and/or MAC filtering, plus it has a built-in NAT firewall. Hope this feedback helps you out. :approve:
