ee: added this to brainstorm
awesome idea. Honestly, many of my friends don't know anything about linux, hell, I don't know anything about linux. The main idea is that you want to lend people the phone, or they take it from the table to look through it. in that can you don't have time to tell them, man let me sign out and log you in as a guest. They just want to look around, and you don't have time to babysit them. Of course, if you see them sliding the keyboard and starting to type you realize that they might be in terminal so you slap them, but the average joe won't do that.

There are applications for this on almost every phone (default or aftermarket). I just want them not to be able to see my conversations, my emails and my pictures/videos from the GUI.
