[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeAction:
This thread is dedicated to discussing the possibilities and implementation of multiple user profiles within Honeycomb.

A phone is a very "personal" device. There are very few people in your life, if any, with whom you'd simply leave your unlocked phone with for any extended amount of time. Your Google account is very closely tied to you. Gmail, Talk, browsing history, text messages, call history, all easily accessible through your phone.

What about your tablet? Do you want any one who picks up your tablet to allow access to all of this private information? Probably not.

Obviously, I have a Google account which I could tie to both my Xoom and my G2. If I was the only person using each device, this would be acceptable. But I am not. My significant other also has an Android phone, and of course, her own Google account. So whose account did I register my Xoom with? Neither. I created a neutral Google account to be used with the Xoom.

This means I do not have access to my purchased apps, or integrated access to the Gmail app, my browser bookmarks, and many other features considered to be benefits of Android.

Solution? How about access to multiple user profiles from the lock screen? Imagine being able to choose from individual profiles, Google accounts, before entering the OS. Using a pin, pattern or password, you could then enter you own specific profile, with full access to your apps, accounts and settings, even your own customized home screen. How about creating a "guest" account for visitors? An account with no Google profile, or even a dummy account for protected access to the browser, apps and other features, without sacrificing your privacy.

I'm aware of a few tools, like password protecting specific apps and such, but I'd like to start a discussion sharing your experiences in this regard and possible solutions.

I know I am not the only one in this situation. A phone is a very personal device. The tablet shouldn't have to be.

EDIT: POSSIBLE SOLUTION

After playing around with the idea, I think I may have found a streamlined solution that's easy and fast. First: Have a neutral account.

Using Bettercut, I created two shortcuts on the home screen. ADW allows access to system shortcuts as well, and I am sure there are a few others.

One shortcut I created, called Sign-In, takes you directly to the Add Account page, using the system setting shortcut. From here, simply click Google, then sign in. It says it will take up to 5 minutes to sync, but I have found it to take more like 5 seconds. Two clicks and signing in is all it takes. Open Gmail, you will find your newly added account, clicking in the upper right hand corner allows you to change accounts within the App. In the market, you can choose which account to use. Choosing my personal account allows me access to my previously purchased apps.

But how about when my session is done?

The second shortcut, called Sign-Out, takes you directly to the Accounts and Sync page within settings. Click on the account you wish to sign out of, then remove account. Two clicks. No more access to gmail, talk or any other personal info. And guess what? My previously purchased and installed apps still work!

This is by no means perfect, but I'll be honest, it's a lot easier than I thought it would be when I posed this question to the community.

Try it out, see how it works for you. Post questions in the thread.
