The Tablet Problem

Re:The Tablet Problem by dchuk on Tuesday August 14, 2012 @11:15AM (#4381308)

I was just talking about this with my roommate last week. I picked up a Nexus 7 when it launched and I leave it out for anyone to play around with when they're over, and my roommate uses it to check his facebook and stuff too. Our solution is that I use the native twitter, facebook, etc apps and he just logs in through chrome (it's a shitty solution really).

I would love the option to login as myself and have basically just my account keychain applied to all installed apps. I can't imagine that would really be that hard for Apple or Google to do, and it would really take Tablets to a better spot in the market as they aren't really phones at all.

This is the only solution atm and it sucks. It might work with a few trustworthy friends but leave your device open at a party as music station and it's way to convenient for someone to "accidentally" open the email-app and instantly see all your private emails.

All that's needed is an app-lock and you could use this workaround. You make all your private apps password protected and guests can only use the browser.
