I bought a G-Tab for my son (7) and myself for Christmas. We have three other android devices in the home (2 Droid2's and my DroidX). My son also has a Droid Eris we set up for him with WiFI (no service) to play around with, etc.
The Tablet is more of a 'Want' for me, and I keep struggling with just exactly what do I want it to be besides a 10 inch Angry Birds device.
The plan is that the Tablet is just kind of 'around' the living room, etc. Would be nice if each family member could sync their g-mail/e-mail/facebook, etc. but have each persons account 'segregated'.
I noticed that TnT would allow setting up of different family accounts, but I quickly removed TnT in favor of TnT lite.
Does anyone know of any strategies for allowing 'login' style access to certain accounts, etc? I don't think android is set up for this natively so I may be trying to put a square peg into a round hole.
I am looking for the same functionality, I did not want any user to pick it up and access my emails, etc.
Did anything like this ever come around?

Well, it was for a while. It's now a 10-inch Can-knockdown device
I've also been working on integrating into my truck as a GPS solution.
But, Back on topic... The way that Android handles accounts makes me believe the goal of this thread is not likely.
You can set up separate family accounts on TnT Lite. Just go to Settings/Family accounts/Add family member.
Good luck with the integration. I did the same thing 2 years back with a Garmin 7500. That was all install and video.
As far as the multi-user part goes, maybe a different Linux.

The OP's tablet use case mimics mine exactly and I'm so far disappointed that no one has really made multiple user profiles a core part of the tablet experience to date.
This was my knock on the Ipad from day one. I am more lenient now with the Android devices because we are running a phone OS on a tablet against Google's wishes. But IMO when Apple introduced a dedicated tablet the abilitly to have multiple user logins would've been a must have if I was going justify their high price.
I haven't even checked to see if Google is addressing this in Honeycomb but it would give them a huge leg up. I would only be willing to pay > $400 for a tablet device if it could do what my PC does, aka serve multiple users in my house with unique profiles/apps/accounts etc.
How is this feature in TNT? I use Vegan right now.

Despite what apple would want you to believe, the ipad is just a big ipod touch. Same with google, android is still a phone os that stubborn manufacturers shoved onto their tablets despite their objections. A multiple account login screen would be a nice feature on honeycomb, hopefully they can include it.

Was gonna post this in another thread which I found out has closed so I'm asking here cause it seems appropriate:
I've never owned a device running iOS, so please could someone explain to me what is so restrictive about Apple's products? I know you can't have widgets or download from a third party without jailbreaking (surely you can download pdf files etc. Though, right?) but what else?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
There is no technical reason for that, Steve Jobs said once that they are putting the apps under a series of test before putting them on the market to provide an higher degree of quality, honestly i see every kind of junk in the App store, even apps that plays farts.
They are just trying to offer less and make a lot of money out of it.
Do not forget, Apple does nothing on its own, does not have even 1 single factory for their hardware, even their OS are just FreeBSD porting, it's just about fashion with their products, also they can't be open because of their business strategy, think about iTunes, iTunes is based on the fact that their OS is closed, if iOS will be opensource probably the music industry will leave iTunes and iTunes itself will die.
Being closed-source also facilitate the "dream factor" and the users can't verify how a feature work and they just use it a the brand tells them.
Apples products are restrictive because they try to lock you into Apple's ecosystem, you can't install apps from anywhere other than the iTunes store (without jailbreaking), they block apps from their store if they find a "moral objection" to them (trying to force their morality on the consumer) and finally they outright ban apps from their competitors (the iOS gmail app which has become an "applet" you can access through the browser).
There are some APIs that you don't have access to that you would have on Android.....mainly around hardware stuff. It also takes a lot longer to get an app approved in the app store. It can be up to a week or two weeks depending on you app. Compare this to Google Play where its almost instant.
Like the previous poster said, with iOS you are tied into using apple's eco system of the app store and itunes. Its not a bad thing really if you are happy with that, but some prefer the relative freedom of Android.
I've developed for both Android and iOS and personally I havent had any issue with restrictions on iOS......it hasnt dtopped me doing anything I wanted to do on that platform.
Good luck!

Take your IToy....connect and sync it with your computer...go to your friend's house. He has some music & vids on his IToy that you would also like on yours. Connect your IToy to his computer to get those music & vids...see what happens..
Or have the hard drive crash on your PC, get a new hard drive. Connect your IToy to your computer so you can copy all your music & vids back to your PC & see what happens..(this happened to somebody I know)
How are the things mentioned here anything but bad? Anytime competition is prevented is bad for the consumer since competition is the only thing that encourages innovation and without it every company would just follow planned obsolescence.
Very costly sdk which makes developing very easy...............
closed source nothing to learn nothing to gain............
very costly its just isnt worth what to pay ............
most of the apps are paid ... unlike android..........
you wont recive os updates and ports custom roms like android does..........
all things are complicated you need and should be done via ituunes unlike android plug in usb do what you want..........
no live wallpaper support out of the box(needs jail breaking)
same userinterface how dumb can it get without the desktop............
no customization...............
add to that damn costly..............
theres a bigger list but its waste of time discussing abt it.......

No. "True" multitasking requires the service to keep running in the background. What you're describing is just caching the app in the RAM.
So it depends on the apps themselves? I have 1GB RAM.

iOS restrictions are as follows:
-Only available on one phone/tablet
-Can't install apps outside of app store without jailbreak, so no betas, console emulators
-No widgets, custom launchers, custom keyboards (like Swype)
in true multitasking the app shouldnt be killed and should be cached with no lag......thats true multitasking.
Actually, iOS proprietary, and from there go restrictions.
But Android is open to all, anyone can bring in their code.
The number of tablet apps designed for the iPad is much greater than those designed for the Nexus 10. However, in some cases the Nexus 10 doesn't need an app to do the job better than the iPad.
For example, trading on the CMCMarkets Web site needs Flash which is available on Windows or Android browsers but not on the Apple browser. Therefore, a seperate app is required on the iPad to trade on CMCMarkets and the one available is not as good for trading using the Windows or Android browsers.
So, although the iPad has more tablet designed apps than the Nexus 10 some of them are to compensate for not having Flash.
I'm all Android, but iPad's app ecosystem is great, even if they don't have flash.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Actually many apps are created on iOS because it lacks Flash, but that's no excuse for developers not to create them for Android, especially now that Flash is officially off Android. But you can access very much on Nexus 10 through a flash-supported browser, that is a minimum for me before buying a $500 device.
Is there a browser BTW which allows splitscreen, or one that has a large screen widget to use on desktop?

The problem with the iPad, for me (and i owned one briefly before i sold it,Wifi iPad2 16GB) is that the apps cost more than the Android equivalents sometimes and sometimes an app is free on Android but you need to pay for it on IOS.
The iPad apps are great when they are tablet optimised, there are more of them, but if you get an app that's not optimized unlike Android where it fills the screen, the app stays phone sized on the iPad, which is just weird.
Then when you add in a crap keyboard, no widgets (this was a biggie for me) and a restrictive ecosystem it ended up being sold.
Which was great as it helped with the cost of my just ordered Nexus 10.
Each to their own.

One of the great benifits of Android is that you can change it to suit yourself. For example, I love the Hackers keyboard with the row of numbers on view like the Galaxy Note and the easy access to the other characters using the shift key.

Yeah, but i also think its one of its weaknesses for the average joe, the iPad is simple, Android can be confusing due to the number of options.
I hoping what I saw from Skype 3.0 yesterday, could be the start of developers taking android tablets more seriously...
I have read that there is also the added benefit that app devs for android don't have to re-optimize their apps for tablets (resolution etc. like many devs had to do with the release of the retina iPad AND the original release of the ipad with supporting the larger screen size) apparently all the apps are able to scale up resolution without having to re-optimize...at least I thought I read that somewhere!

Optimization =/= Upscaling
Upscaling is not exactly but somewhat like stretching everything to fit the screen. There are algorithms to make it look better but that's the basic idea.
Optimization is making images and an interface directly for a tablet. This won't need any stretching and such and will always look better.
The apps for Android tablets are bad.....they just are. If you deny that, then you're not interested in a serious conversation on the topic. You're just biased towards Android to the point where you will make any excuse possible to make it sound better than it is.
I love Android as and OS, but Android tablets are just not worth it at this point. Apps like:
- ESPN Scorecenter
- Ebay
- Pandora
- Chase Mobile
- Amazon Mobile (doesn't even exist for Android tablets yet)
- Facebook

That makes absolutely no sense. iOS and Android both have very high quality apps and both have some pretty useless apps as well. For every app you listed (probably with the exception of maps, LOL), there's a high quality iOS equivalent app for it.
Anybody with half a brain could find an app to suit their needs on both systems.

This is exactly why we won't see that many tablet apps. People get so worked up when an app isn't holo themed but no one cares about having tablet apps. Android users just don't care and when users don't care, developers don't care. When folks start getting as sensitive to the lack of tablet optimization in an app as they do with an app that's not holo themed, that's when we'll start seeing more tablet apps.
I care and I make it a point to contact developers to ask them about a tablet version of their app. Be the change you want to see. Start caring and devs will follow.
-email developers and ask them for a tablet app
-let your voices be heard! Leave a comment and don't be afraid to dock them a couple stars for the lack of tablet optimization.
-don't be cheap!! Reward developers who taken the time to optimize their apps. I think the second posters in this thread said apps were too expensive or something. Seriously. Apps cost less than a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
This mentality that stretched out apps are just as good is absurd. People love to use the argument that stretching an app is better than what the iPad is doing. While that may be true in some cases, iPad users rarely have to worry about such things. Any app that you'd likely use on iPad will probably have an optimized version for it.
I know this may not be the most serious thing in the world but honestly, complaining about it in forums isn't going to do anything. Be proactive. Let developers know what we need and if there are enough people who want it, it will surely get done.

I don't think anyone will deny that Apple has more tablet apps. I will disagree that android apps are bad. I don't think your assessment is fair.
I've never had problems with a few of those apps that you listed. The others I haven't used.
Saying android tablets aren't worth it because a few apps on Android aren't as good is only true to you. I don't use my tablets only for those apps, and when I need those apps, they are there they get the job done just the same.

For anyone with half a brain I do highly recommend iOS devices with its limitations and restrictiveness. Even Apple's cofounder Steve Wozniak commented that it's good for mentally challenged people:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/14/even-woz-thinks-the-android-bests-the-iphone.html
"...people who are just scared of computers altogether and don’t want to use them. The iPhone is the least frightening thing. For that kind of person who is scared of complexity..."
The thing is if google wants devs to develop more tablet optimized apps they should start by polishing their own.
Just look at the horrible compressed music art in the play music app, i ****ing hate how it downsamples whatever your album art is, now look at the album art on the iPad music player, the full res art looks great. I have ordered my 32gb Nexus 10 but this seriously ticks me off as i own an iPad 3 and a TP. Don't get me started wih the clock app.
Google's own Google+ app works better on the iPad3 than the Nexus 10
ridiculous...
Could not agree more I have a note 2 for phone and ipad 3 for tablet. I also have a nexus 7 and android tablet suck in the app department big time it's not even funny. Ipad has it beat by a long shot and this is why ipad is so popular. Plus all developers concentrate on iOS and ipad before they even consider android. It's a shame I wish they were at least equal but don't matter what specs android tablet have if they don't have the apps majority of your normal users will not buy it period.

I am so displeased with MS. It seems they hide behind all the apps by saying they are beta. WP7.5 was frustrating enough with lack of skype for a year even after they bought it. Between skype and the miserable version of pdf they created one could only wonder how serious they actually are. It would be nice to have an android app so we could have apps that work. Seriously MS stop hiring sweat shop kids to develop your apps and invest in some proper programmers. I don't want a repeat of WP7.5
Yeah, the past couple of days I have seriously considered going back to Android. WP8 is missing some pretty key features that I could ignore if there were apps to fill the holes, there are none... No wifi sync? Unable to "delete" music from Xbox music, even though it's no longer on my device(I used to have Music Pass and the music I downloaded still shows up)? Media volume and Ringtone volume are shared? that seems like a no brainer. The camera, while the overall picture quality is good, I find the colors to be very inaccurate(not WP8, but still a gripe). A lot of my "live tile" apps do not update anymore, maybe the app devs fault? The desktop sync program is almost useless, why can't Zune be used?
So, I am probably gonna try and trade my 920 for an Android... I miss my Nexus

Given that that a lot of apps are FCing in the market for god known reasons and developers are not updating or taking full advantage of the display. Is is a sign that nexus 10 doesnt have good sales and its not worth the effort. I personally own one and would hate to see the potential of the device go to waste.

The whole idea of the N10 is to seed the market for other 10" 300ppi devices to come from the manufacturers. The same thing happened with the N7 and Gnexus before it. Apps will be fixed/updated in time, most likely at a quicker pace as other highres devices start to be announced/made available.
I doubt they've sold too many so far. If I had to guess, I'd say a few hundred thousand but I doubt any more than that. They will undoubtedly sell a few more in time but I doubt they'll sell millions. Leave that for the Galaxy Tab 3 eh?
I've got 81 apps on my N10 which I use across several devices, and NONE of them force close, or have resolution issues on my N10. So I've got to ask, what apps are you talking about??
No force closes here either. All my apps that I use on my GNex work just as well on my N10. The one "sort of" exception is Facebook. It works fine, but isn't optimized for 10" tablets, so using it in landscape makes it look horrible.
The only app I use that didn't work on my N10 was the grocery iq app (allows you to have a synced grocery list with several devices) but they recently updated it to work on the N10.
No force closes here either. I have also seen lots of apps updating to be tablet friendly. Flip book, Tapatalk HD, and...
I think the dev support is only going to continue to grow. The dev support on this site alone has double I in the last week or two.

FT app , the economist app. ezpdf is a bit slow with the page turn, but is the only one with two page landscape.
These two i primarily used on my friends n7 , but FC on opening articles in the N10.
Apart from that, most work fine. Although Shadowguneadzone shows a little thermal throttle , when played for over 4 hours. but that is okay considering how beautiful it looks and works.
I really love this device ad I hope google currents and the chrome issues are fixed asap. Just wanted to flash the FT app to my i**** friends out here.
BTW Flipboard after the update worked like a charm and i hope they use the new youtube embedding API , so that we can watch videos without leaving the article.
I only have one app that force closes, and even then its only when a certian setting is used. I'd hardly say there's little dev interest.
I will, however, say that in general software development swings towards the biggest groups, which is why historically the iPad has gotten tablet apps before us, has better game support, etc. In our case, while software with tablet support should be optimized because they can automatically use the resources for 300+ DPI phones there's still the matter that we're the only 2560x1600 resolution tablet on the market. If there's something stopping an app from using phone resources, or its tablet only, the only thing that'll fix that is the arival of other tablets at this resolution.
