Once again the biggest success story is undoutedly Android, which saw growth of 44% during the July-September period and ended with a market share of 21.4%, up a very healthy 6.5% over the previous quarter. That growth came at the expense of just about everyone else, Microsoft, Palm and RIM all saw their marketshare fall whilst the best Apple could manage was to keep their's constant.
Apple's marketshare remained at 24.3%, the same as during the preceeding quarter, but that is actually an improvement because in that preceeding quarter Apple's marketshare had been falling so it looks like the iPhone 4 has managed to shore up its base so to speak.
Of course the numbers we see here for Microsoft are not inclusive of Windows Phone 7, which hasn't yet had a chance to make a big impact upon the market and Palm is also releasing the Pre 2, although it's doubtful how much of an impact that will have.
