Someone already specifically said that the task switcher wasn't present.
What I keep thinking (with no evidence to back it up) is about the way Android does notifications. You have the standard info bar at the top of the screen, that pretty much every phone UI has. But with android, you can drag it down like a "pull down" sort screen. When you have notifications in the status bar, these become list entries in this now visible window, so you know the details behind the status icons.
You could also do something similar for a task switcher. Dragging down the status bar could give you a list of running applications that you could switch to, kill, etc.
But that's just what keeps going through my head when they talk about a new way to do task switching.
