    • 路透社（Reuters）独家报道：有消息称iPhone 5外观与 iPhone 4几近相同（倒也不是件坏事），但处理器的速度将会更快。另外，新一代iPhone很可能将于今年9月发售。所以，从现在开始赶紧存钱吧……（来源：路透社）

    • RockMelt继去年成功推出社交媒体浏览器后，再次创新，发布了独立的免费应用程序RockMelt手机版浏览器，给你带来一点不同的浏览体验。用户仍可在主页（见下图）进行搜索或输入网页地址，但会靠前重点显示RSS（简易新闻聚合）和社交数据索引结果。另外还特别提供“稍后查看”（View Later）功能——选择一篇手机下载特评（如《今日科技》），将文章同步传输并加载至RockMelt的桌面浏览器上，获得更便捷的阅读体验。预计这款新产品未来几天内就会登录苹果的应用程序专卖店（App Store）。

    • If you've ever want to call your Facebook friends directly via FB and not uh, you know over your cell phone, now you can.

    • Fortune contributor Andy Zaky explains why Apple shares will likely trade at valuation levels that haven't been seen since the depth of the financial crisis. (Fortune)

    • Yahoo's first quarter revenues were down 6%, from $1.13 billion the same time last year to $1.064 billion this year, a decrease the Internet company attributed largely to its search agreement with Microsoft, whereby Bing now powers Yahoo searches. (TechCrunch)

    • Meanwhile, Intel surpassed analyst expectations -- its first quarter sales jumped 25% year over year to $12.9 billion, significantly more than the predicted $11.9 billion average estimate. (Tech Trader Daily)

    • Reuters has the scoop on the iPhone 5, which the outlet's sources report will look a lot like the iPhone 4 (not a bad thing), but will have a faster processor. Chances are also very good it'll start shipping in September, so start saving now... (Reuters)

    • Kobo, the e-book company which Borders endorsed, raised $50 million in funding led by investors like Indigo Books & Music and Cheung Kong Holdings.

    • RockMelt, that social media-focused web browser that launched last year, announced RockMelt mobile, a standalone free app that takes a slightly different approach to the browsing experience. The home screen (see below) still lets users search and input web URLs but puts their RSS and social feeds front and center. There's also a new "View Later" feature -- select a particular story on the mobile version, for instance (eg. Today in Tech) and it'll sync up with and load up in the RockMelt desktop browser for easier reading. Expect it to hit the App Store within the next few days.
