Android grabbed exactly 50 per cent in the previous quarter according to the market watcher, so this represents a small increase.
iPhone increased too, from 28 per cent to 29 per cent. Which made RIM the big loser; its share falling to 11 per cent.
Elsewhere, Windows Phone 7, Windows Mobile, and webOS remained with less than five per cent of the market each.
