Apple has revealed File Sharing capabilities in the third beta of iPhone OS 4.0 seeded to developers today.
According to the Boy Genius Report, Apple is finally going to allow you to transfer files to and from your iPhone straight from your computer. It works like this: You plug your iPhone into iTunes, head on over to the Apps page and scroll down. From there you’ll be able to drag files to and from your iPhone and your computer. We have not been able to get the feature to work as of yet, but it seems a lock that support will be enabled for more than the Mail app. That is if this feature makes it past the development stage.
The site also noticed that it is now easier to close multiple multitasked apps. Rather then having to press and hold on each icon individually you now need only press and hold once. You can then quickly close more than one app.

File Sharing came with iTunes 9.1.1 not with the new beta.

You must scroll down in the "apps" tab to your itunes. Of course you must have installed a "sharing" app like mobilestudio, mail, or air sharing.

Remember, the task manager is just a recently-used list. You can get to recent apps, dormant in memory, from the regular Springboard pages. Similarly, deleting an app from this list isn't "killing" the app. It's merely removing it from the list. The app doesn't actually get killed because such a thing isn't necessary. Memory is freed up on an as-needed basis.
