The product: A WiFi hotspot device that is configured to VPN into your home network.
The result: Any device connected to that WiFi network will be as if it was on your home network.
The hook: My iPhone, on the WiFi hotspot can connect to my iTunes library via Home Sharing, enabling me to play all of my music that is on my desktop, as if I was at home.
Another hook: My Windows 7 laptop is still connected to my homegroup, allowing me to access any files I have shared on any computer at home that is also a part of my home group.
Issues: WiFi hotspot devices aren't easily configurable and you would need a home router that can do VPN hosting. Also, hardware is hard.
