It has been widely reported that Apple will debut a new streaming radio service at its Worldwide Developers Conference next month. The company was said to be close to striking a deal with Warner Music and Sony Music to launch its iRadio service, however recent reports suggest negotiations may have hit a roadblock that could prevent Apple from debuting the service at next month’s event.

The Verge reports that BMG Rights Management, the fourth largest music publisher, is  not satisfied with the company’s deal and is holding out, therefore leaving Apple with only one major label onboard at this point.

Apple’s streaming music service is said to be a hybrid Web and radio service with features similar to both Pandora and Spotify, but labels reportedly want Apple to pay higher licensing fees than rivals because Apple plans to introduce new functionality that extends beyond similar offerings.

Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference is scheduled to take place from June 10th to June 14th in San Francisco.

Nokia is rumored to be preparing a 41-megapixel Lumia smartphone, codenamed EOS, that will be released later this year. According to WMPowerUser, the handset will look similar to Nokia’s Lumia 920 smartphone and will feature a polycarbonate case with a 4.5-inch 720p display. The device will reportedly come with a new application called “Nokia Pro Camera” to compliment the 41-megapixel PureView camera, which is also said to include a protective lens cover that automatically opens when the camera application is launched. Unlike the handful of Lumias that came before it, however, the EOS will reportedly not come in different colors and will not natively support wireless charging. Earlier reports suggested that Nokia would launch its EOS smartphone in the United States this summer.

Of all the problems to have when launching a new flagship smartphone, trouble keeping up with demand is hardly the worst. Of course, things change a bit when a company has to pump units into channels as quickly as possible before the top-selling smartphone vendor in the world launches the Galaxy S4. HTC undoubtedly lost some sales thanks to its production woes with the One, but a new report suggests its manufacturing issues are behind it. According to Focus Taiwan, HTC North Asia president Jack Tong said that production capacity for the HTC One will double in May and increase further in June. ”Our capacity is expected to rise significantly starting from mid-May,” Tong reportedly said Friday at a press conference. “We are optimistic about our high-end sales during April and June.”

Nokia (NOK) is reportedly developing a new Lumia smartphone with an improved design and an upgraded PureView camera. The Verge cited multiple unnamed sources on Wednesday when claiming that a new Windows Phone code-named “EOS” is being planned by Nokia. The phone will reportedly feature an aluminum case in place of the plastic Nokia has used on its Lumia phones thus far, and it will feature an upgraded PureView camera said to be similar to the one found on Nokia’s PureView 808 smartphone. The 808′s camera was a 41-megapixel unit, though the report does not specify the upcoming Lumia phone’s megapixel count. AT&T (T) will carry Nokia’s new Windows Phone latest this year, according to the report.
