The upcoming iPhone OS 4.0 will deliver support for multi-tasking using a expose-like interface, according to AppleInsider.
Those familiar with the design of iPhone 4.0 said that the user interface will resemble Apple's desktop Expose feature, in that a key combination -- reportedly hitting the Home button twice -- will trigger an expose-like interface that brings up a series of icons representing the currently running apps, allowing users to quickly select the one they want to switch to directly. When a selection is made, the iPhone OS zooms out of the Expose task manager and transitions to that app.
Other notable features of the iPhone 4.0 firmware are a global mailbox view and the ability to add individual contacts to the home screen.

By you saying it's the most stupid rumor you've ever heard, you're basically creating a rumor that the rumor isn't true. you, nor anyone else can't say what will or will not be on the phone. Everything now is speculation and hear-say...unless YOU have insider information that you're aware of. If so, do share.
