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.

Probably because is what everybody's been saying....and probably is wrong, we'll see the new iPhone OS comes and goes with the same thing from Apple, good luck to all the people who jump into it.

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.
