I dont think Android is designed with multiple accounts in mind. You can have multipe google accounts but not multiple "master" accounts.
You can understand this not being implemented for mobile phones as they are more personal than tablets. I would hope that google look at implementing it at some stage.

Enterproid seem to be making an app for this very purpose though. Not sure when it will be released.

I was wondering if there was a way to use a combination of hidden apps and a password/locked homescreen. Basically you could have one. I'd like to have one homescreen with all my mail and calendar widgets, but be able to keep it out general homescreen rotation. Other homescreens would be set up that were relatively childproof.

Has anyone heard of a locking homescreens independently?

Regina 3d launcher has something like this. Works fine on gingerbread but I haven't tried it on honeycomb.

Had similar problems with my kids and their android phones and never really found a suitable solution.
Saying "Thank You" is free and only a button-click away ....

Nexus 7 - 16gb 4.2
ASUS Transformer 16gb wifi (TF101) - Jelly Bean

Galaxy Nexus - (Orange) - 4.2.1

MK802 vIII
MK802 vII
Sony Experia Arc S - (Orange) - wifeys phone
2 x LG Nexus 4 - (GiffGaff) - kids phones
Motorola Defy, HTC Desire & HTC Raphael - (T-Mobile MDA Vario IV) - now spare backup phones

Still looking. I've tried to DL Regina, but haven't had much luck. The launcher installed, but only showed up with froyo launcher switcher. It only works in portrait mode, which isn't very nice on my Adam. Also, it's no longer available on the market, although the other pieces of the suite are.

I wish someone would take this on in some of the popular tablet launchers. hint, hint....
