The Wall Street Journal reports that the next iPhone will indeed be thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4, but also reports that another, cheaper iPhone is in the works as well. Meanwhile next year, another iPhone model will supposedly feature "new ways of charging the phone." We hope that last part means inductive (read: wireless) charging, but of course, we'll have to wait and see. Also, tech blog This is my next says a tweaked iPad model is also due out this fall. This "iPad HD" will supposedly sport double the screen resolution of the current version and aim for the higher end of the consumer market. (The Wall Street Journal and This is my next)
Twitter is supposedly raising $400 million in funding at a valuation of $8 billion. This particular round will be led by Yuri Milner's firm DST Global and also include previous company investors like Kleiner Perkins. (The New York Times / DealB%k)
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone has joined early Twitter investor Spark Capital as a strategic advisor. The new comes just one week after Stone said he was re-teaming with Evan Williams and Jason Goldman to focus on a venture called The Obvious Corporation. (TechCrunch)
Rumors abound that newbie startup Turntable.fm, which offers up virtual chat rooms where users can DJ music tracks and chat about them with others, is looking to raise more money for the cause. Business Insider claimed it had confirmation of a new $7.5 million round of funding at a $37.5 million valuation, however TechCrunch quickly shot that report down with a denial from co-founder and chairman Seth Goldstein himself. Still, even the latter blog admits there's a bidding war going on among interested parties like Union Square's Fred Wilson, Accel Partners, and Kleiner Perkins. (Business Insider and TechCrunch)

据《华尔街日报》（The Wall Street Journal）报道，下一代iPhone将比iPhone 4更为轻薄；但该媒体同时还报道说，另一款价格相对低廉的iPhone也正在研发中。同时，据猜测，明年还将有另一款采用“全新充电方式”的iPhone手机问世。我们希望，此种新充电方式指的是感应式（即：无线）充电。当然，我们需要拭目以待。同时，科技博客This is my next表示，一款经过改进的iPad机型也将于今秋正式推出。据估计，这款高清版iPad的分辨率将是iPad 2的两倍，并将定位于高端消费市场。【《华尔街日报》（The Wall Street Journal）、科技博客This is my next（This is my next）】
据估计，Twitter将以80亿美元的估价，融到4亿美元的资金。在这轮融资中，主要投资者包括尤里•米尔纳的全球数字天空科技公司（DST Global）以及KPCB等以前就投资于Twitter的风险资本公司。【《纽约时报》（The New York Times）、DealB%k】
Twitter联合创始人比兹•斯通已经以战略顾问的身份加盟Twitter早期的投资公司星火资本公司（Spark Capital）。就在此消息公布之前一周，斯通曾表示，他已重新开始与艾文•威廉姆斯和杰森•高德曼合作，专注于发展一家称为显而易见公司（The Obvious Corporation）的企业。【科技博客TechCrunch（TechCrunch）】
刚刚成立的初创公司Turntable.fm的主要业务是提供虚拟聊天室，用户可在里面打碟，并与他人交流。最近，有大量传闻说，该公司在为此融资。《商业内幕人》（Business Insider）称，Turntable.fm已经确认，它已以3,750万美元的估价，融到了750万美元的投资。但是，科技博客TechCrunch很快就推翻了这一说法。据说，Turntable.fm联合创始人兼董事会主席塞斯•高德斯坦本人否认了此说法。但是，TechCrunch也承认，广和投资公司（Union Square）的弗雷德•威尔逊、Accel Partners、以及KPCB等有兴趣投资于Turntable.fm的几家风险资本机构，目前正为此展开激烈的投标之争。【《商业内幕人》（Business Insider）、科技博客TechCrunch（TechCrunch）】
