Why Android Jelly Bean 4.2?s Multiple User Account Switching Is Tablet-Only? (Hint: Nokia Patented It For Phones)

One of the coolest (and most useful) features of Google's Android Jelly Been 4.2 update is multiple user account switching, offering up the option to have several users share access to a device, while keeping their settings and content walled off from each other. It's something we've been used to on PCs forever, so it's bound to be welcomed by Android users. However, we've learned that the new feature will likely only apply to tablets, certainly as far as Google's Nexus range is concerned. Phones need not apply. The reason -- and this is purely an educated guess on my part -- could well be that back in the day Nokia already patented the idea (via its acquisition of Symbian).
