I think an additional non-static method could be added but I don't see
the need for it: if you want to know if a user is a guest you could
simply

boolean loggedin = (User.get() != User.GUEST);

but in my honest opinion the following is the easyest thing

boolean loggedin = !User.isGuest();

as this form shortens the statement a lot and is a bit less error prone
