Nokia has always been a little ahead of the game when it comes to new technologies. (a little slow to use them sometimes) Text messages, GSM, mobile internet all Nokia. Now it seems that they were seven years ahead of Google on Multiuser on a smartphone.

Google now has multiusers on their tablets but not on their phones in the latest build of Android 4.2. This is because way back in 2005 Nokia patented the idea on a smartphone.

Nokia patent US 2005/0107114 A1, called "multi-user mobile telephone,"

A mobile telephone is designed to be used by several different end-users at different times. A first end-user can alter the mobile telephone so that it operates in a manner specific to that first end-user and a subsequent end-user can alter the mobile telephone so that it operates in a manner specific to that subsequent end-user; wherein each end-user has only to respond to prompts displayed on a screen in order to alter the mobile telephone so that it operates in a manner specific to that end-user.

Does this mean it's never coming to an Android phone near you? Nope it just means that they have to settle out a deal with Nokia before they can make that happen.
