    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)

     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)
