If you're talking about keeping them logically separated on the device, you already get this on any Android phone. You can install different mail apps and use a different one for each account if you like. You can even do it with GMail accounts if you're willing to use GMail through IMAP (but I think you're out of luck for whatever Google calls their chat platform this week).
The problem is that it's hard to distinguish between work and personal notifications when not working (and vice versa). Giving me the ability to take a VMs running and mute them (or mute them except if they blow up with notifications, or provide a single notification on the main interface telling me there's X notifications waiting on the work VM that updates once every hour or so) would be a real benefit. Not as much as a totally separate device, but also it wouldn't necessarily be as expensive or require more physical space.
