In the service industry a single device would be shared between usrs on and between shifts and between users in different roles.

iPads are used on the manufacturing floor to add quality metrics to a Domino database.  The iPad on each production line is passed from one person to another as the shifts change because the line runs 24x7.  So three user IDs needed on each tablet.

I work with about 8 different ID files across all of my customers every week.  For IBM to say "we  aren't doing it that way because other products don't either" is not innovative.  In fact, it isn't accurate either.
I can connect my iPad to all of these different mail systems to read my email from all of my customers using the native iPad app.  On one device.  Traveler fails there too.

I am the Administrator Domino for many of our customers and would throw a quick access from the tablet by switching by Locations and IDs. However, it is in exceptional cases, but it would be nice ;-) I understand the concept.

Although the iOS devices are "i"-devices, mail.app provides ways to define multiple POP3 and IMAP accounts, although the users could as well forward all their mails to one account.

We as an IBM business partner do not only have access to our own systems (with admin and user id), but we also take care of customer systems where we get the ID file from the customer.

So to make more use of the iOS app, having the concept of locations and connections available would be very helpful. To make it easy, these could be hidden behind an "expert mode" switch.

The concept of iOS devices is that they are single user devices, some call them "i"-Devices. Although I understand that in some situations you might want to switch between an AdminID and and a UserID, the overall concept of DMA is to work with one identity against all your servers.
