I have just bought myself a Nexus 7 - shock horror for those who know me on here as an Apple fanboy, it's not all bad on the dark side
One question I have about Android is whether it is possible to lock down specific applications, in particular those that contain personal information. Although it is my personal tablet I want to be able to freely pass it around to family and friends for them to use and would like to disable e.g. my email

The only downside is you will have to download apps again for that account (and if they are paid for apps, be aware you will need to pay for them again - it's all done per Google account).
Will this also work on a brand new Galaxy Tab 2?
Only if it's got Android 4.2 - don't know if the Tab 2 has been updated yet or not.
I've tried searching but all this Android stuff moves along that fast that most info is out of date.
Great, that's exactly what I was looking for. I have just upgraded to 4.2 and the Users option has appeared in settings. This has always been my biggest gripe with IOS, it makes it difficult to pass around one's own iPad for general use.
Afraid not, it's a new feature in 4.2.
It hasn't but it is on the list of devices that will get the jelly bean update.
