Seems like some decent new features there. Wonder which ones listed....if any....are specific to the Nexus 7 since they brought that up a few times in the article.

Multi-user is probably only a tablet feature. Faster switching was a nice improvement on the N7.

I wonder if installing this update, when it comes, will prevent me from using the older version of Google Maps?

They also have an undocumented (hidden) feature - app permission manager.
App Ops: Android 4.3's Hidden App Permission Manager, Control Permissions For Individual Apps! [Update]

Probably not fully functional yet, but is a step in the right direction.

I'm currently using probam Rom which is based on cyanogenmod 10.2 (android 4.3) and the permissions thing is really nice feature. For instance I've prevented Facebook app from read or writing data on my phone and a few other permissions. It can take a long time to go through them but if you know already of specific ones..... otherwise I believe it's minor things under the hood similar to 4.2

As someone else mentioned about ability to have users on it, cyanogenmod does allow this feature but obviously requires root which is not for everyone :)

That's a good question. I'm using the older version of Google maps/Nav. too. Like it much better then the current version.

"Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 support – display song names on a car stereo."

I'm pretty sure our phones have this now. At least my SGS4 does. I noticed after we first got them that streaming mp3's to my Kenwood would display song information where our HTC Evo LTE's would not. Maybe they're adding more support for album cover thumbnails or something. That would be cool.
