Switch lets different people browse the web on a single iPad while keeping their own history, bookmarks and tabs.
Ever got frustrated because your friend's sites are open in every tab in Safari? Switch is for you! Each person who uses your iPad gets their own user account, so each time you open Switch everything is just how you left it.
There's even a Guest account for people borrowing iPad for a quick surf. When your friends log out of Switch, or just lock the screen, their browsing history is cleared so they can safely surf without worrying about privacy.
Switch is an app like any other and so can't provide password protection for other apps -- just the tabs, bookmarks and history in its own browser. If you want to keep your Facebook or Gmail sessions private, for example, you'll need to make sure you access these only from within Switch. http://itunes.apple.com/gr/app/id403360095?mt=8&affId=1788472&ign-mpt=uo%3D6
