That's the rumor, at least according to this article on GameSpy. "A press release out of Sweden tries to convince us that Blizzard has now confirmed a 2009 release for the first instalment of StarCraft II. Out of the DreamHack computer festival Press2Play.tv claims to have it on good authority that this is indeed the case."
This is, of course, just a rumor at this point. But let's hope this is one rumor that proves to be correct.
