I think Android 4.2 is taking on iOS heads on. If you own an iPad with all custom settings; you can't easily share it with another user; because there's no way you can let them create a separate login or say offer 'guest' access. Android 4.2 solves that problem by allow multiple user logins through the interface with custom settings.

I think Google wants to bring the best of desktop computers and laptops to the tablets by allowing users to create personalised settings on their tablets. What do you think of this feature? I personally like it.

The more the features get advanced in the Tabs the more they replicate real computers

Wonder when we should expect a super mobile phone like a super computer

Now that gives me Linux feeling 😁
But I wonder how they gonna manage root.
'Cause in Linux OS guest user can't get into root, while in Android once you root, you cannot instantly unroot like Linux OS.

I have a doubt.... will the current top tablets which run 4.1 (like galaxy tab 2) will be offeering upgrade to 4.2?
And yes.. I like this multiple-use thing. One should always consider that these things are not for noobs 😀
