Nexus 7 News - - Front Page Comments and Discussion / Re: Will Multiple User Accounts (MUA) Come To The Nexus 7 Tablet?
« on: August 08, 2012, 06:11:53 AM »
I see multi user support as a must have feature and they need to get this in asap.
Whilst it isn't needed for phones as typically these aren't shared, tablets on the other hand will sit in people's living rooms and will be passed around between family members.
There is no point in having one of these each, in fact I wouldn't want my kids to have one each as sharing them seems like a good device for limiting use. Whilst frustrating for the kids it means mum/dad can easily say 'I need to check my mail' easily avoiding a big fuss.
For me the Nexus 7 fits nicely into a limited use case where the family and I use it to look up things in front of the telly, or check our email. For "proper" stuff we go back to our desktops, I find it hard to do any "real" work on anything other than my large monitors! In this scenario multi user support is a must and tbh I am still surprised its taken this long to get it in.
