comScore has released their latest smartphone market stats from the last quarter of 2009 and it's very interesting. BlackBerry is still dominant with 41.6% of the market, but that's actually down from 42.6%. Apple came in second with 25.3% of the market which is up 1.2%. Microsoft was third with 18%, Palm at 6.1%, and Android had 5.2%. Android was actually up 2.7 percentage points.

What does it all mean? It means that things are changing very slowly. With all the buzz around Android they still only have a very small percent of the market. Let's check back in a year and they will probably have grown.

Apple has made significant progress in just a few years. What is up with Microsoft? We've heard barely any buzz around Windows Mobile in a couple years.
