[Q] Are multi user logins possible on honeycomb?

[cvela]

I was thinking how great it would be to have home and work logins for different gmail accounts, apps, voice, etc. Even others such as one for my daughter, wife, guests? Does this exist and did I miss it in my search results?
Thanks in advance! Don't be too harsh if its a boneheaded question.

It don't exist but I agree it would be awesome.

Maybe someday... Google wink*wink*

yeah it would be a nice feature but adds a lot of complexity to the OS and also to App purchases.

I know right now LG and VMware are working on a project together where you can basically run a virtual machine on your android device. I think this is due out later this year as they had a demo in December. So, once it is available for the LG, I am sure some smart people will port it over.

I don't see why, except to the os. But it would still be the same UDID so the apps would stay on the phone.

It would just basically make different folders that would save the shorcuts for the homesceeen and allow you to save specific files and settings for different accounts.

Think of windows.

User settings
C\Users

And apps and drm protection settings
C:\Program Files

Apps would be fine, but it would take up space. I don't exactly know the specifics of designing it into an os.

Honeycomb does support multiple logins for apps like gmail, calendar, and contacts. My wife and I currently have both our google accounts on the Xoom and it works great. There is just a drop down up in the top right corner where you can select between the account. Hope this helps.

i"d love this, as my wife could have a diff set of shortcuts on her homescreen, Smartkeyboard as her default input device, and the locale set to Japan.

Anyone who pulled this off would get a purchase from me hands down.

I wish there is the same for Facebook app

well it looks like interest is there. I too was thinking along the widows users folders. Ive always maintained a device between work and homed on my laptops. Different wallpaper, bookmarks, personal email seperate from business. So my daughter can plant pokemon bookmarks and youtube links on the home account. Or not email someone on my business emai account.

Yeah, I'm currently trying to navigate a screen for my work, a screen for my girlfriend, and the rest just w/e. I hate the one all the way to the right as my work. Luckily my work uses an @att e-mail address, and i use firefox only for work which helps me keep my bookmarks seperate.

It would be awesome to have specific files for different users, but for now, this will have to work.

multi profiles would be a good start?

Something like firefox profiles where one could login an sync to their gmail account bookmarks, etc. Could be a start from the last post? Now if only I were talented enough to code! I'm glad to see I'm not all nuts with the idea.
