Nope :-( "Available only on tablets.", see http://www.android.com/whatsnew/

New versions of Android usually roll out to Nexus devices days or weeks after the release of the new hardware. So you should expect November 13th + X days.

In that case, :( and :). Thanks for the reply!

If you're comfortable running unofficial ROMs, I'm pretty sure ROM developers will have multi-user support running on phones as soon as they get the source code.

Cyanogen has had this for quite a while. I used it on my Gtablet and it worked pretty well.

It was in 4.1 all along. Cyanogen just put their own version of the finishing touches on it.

Having different users log in using different pattern unlocks is huge.

On a phone, wouldn't you need to also switch the SIM card? It seems to me that switching accounts on a phone might not be practical if the device still answers to the same phone number. Am I wrong?

Usually, yes, but I might just need a guest account for people to use apps/games without overwriting my data, surf the web, etc. It definitely wouldn't be useless.

I, for one, never want to use someone else's poop phone...even a friend's.
