Apple also gained share, as iOS now represents 27.4 percent of the total, an increase of 0.8 percentage points since June and 0.1 percentage points since August.

RIM dipped 0.8 percentage points in a month. Microsoft's share fell 0.2 points to 5.6 percent (0r 0.1 points since August) and Symbian now commands 1.8 percent, down 0.2 percent since June.

Apple recorded a 1.3 percentage point increase since June to finish at 10.2 percent. RIM was fifth, down 0.8 points to 7.1 percent. comScore's numbers are based on a study of 30,000 mobile subscribers.
