According to a new study from mobile advertising firm inMobi, 39% of UK and 41% of US mobile phone users would buy Apple‘s highly anticipated iPhone 5, which might be announced next week. But before you chalk this up to the power of the Apple brand, here’s another statistic for you: if Apple only releases an update to iPhone 4 (presumably called iPhone 4S), that figure drops to 12% of UK mobile users.

In other words: even for arguably the most powerful, passion-generating company of all, a “brand” doesn’t  take on a life of its own. At the end of the day, people don’t buy a brand – they buy products; and their purchase intent is predicated, above all, on the presence of tangible benefits. An iPhone 4S likely wouldn’t provide enough benefits to get masses of iPhone 4 or Android owners to upgrade. With an iPhone 5, on the other hand, all bets are off.

Apple is also poised to steal market share from competitors: 55 percent of US Blackberry users intend to buy a iPhone 5, as do 27% of Android users. In fact, RIM (NSDQ: RIMM) seems to be suffering most of all in the survey.

Another proof point for the “it’s the product, stupid” thesis (see my previous post): 28% of US Blackberry users would switch to Apple even if it only launched an iPhone 4S.

Hello I M POSSIBLE (The Album).

Got to say thanks to all those who contributed, helped, supported the mixtape GMT. It was a fun ride. thought me hell a lot tho especially that the Music Business is more about business and less about music. And oh yeah. Don’t get fooled,  DJ’s that break records are a dying breed, and those who care about records even more extincts.

They play only the records that have big support from major labels and hide behind the fame of old records from some underground artists that made a name for themselves by being underground to act like they are cool.

On the other hand, we have great Dj’s that know their stuff, so I can only salute those who swim head above water…they know who they are.

Welcome to the BUSINESS of MUSIC…thats how i define it now

Was fun, enjoy the Mixtape…GMT (Get Money Time)

Kashmir Dreams closes the Mixtape GMT (Get Money Time)

GMT (Get Money Time) by IAmKlash

I’m just a surviver ya think I’m a rider
Stories out the bible
Darker than a tribal
Always fit the role
But I never dress the model
Mo days in the go
As if I ever left the auto
Why we keep Lo
If we high as in a g4
Chill as in I’m cold
fire As in I’m lethal
Klash is just the gold
State of war the people
The power the passion
The before and the sequel
So Hit them with oh
Kill em with the needle
I’m crack cocaine
In the vain I’m so evil
(klash) beat them with the flow
Pound em by the kilo
I’m so insane
I smoke the L out of ego

Klash this Klash that
Tell me where the cash at
crack this coke that
show me where the high at
G6
Sea sick so I better fly that
And ya know I got that
So I don’t gotta cop that

to my people in Dakar still doing their thang
To my folks atown still hustling
To the movement in London griming
To the whole world still out there pushing
