comScore released their report on the state of the U.S. mobile market for the last quarter of 2009 and it shows that Androids market growth doesn’t show signs of slowing down.

While RIM is still the leader with a 41.6% market share, a 1% drop from September of 2009.  Apple has gained slightly moving up from 24.1% to 25.3%.  The exciting news for those of us following the growth of Google’s Android OS is the jump from 2.5% to 5.2%.  If Android keeps doubling its market share it won’t be long before Google and Apple are battling it out for a top spot.

Despite recent price cuts which made their smartphones one of the cheapest on the market, the biggest loser this quarter was Palm down from 8.3% to 6.1% a 2.2 percentage point drop.  Microsoft dropped on percentage point from 19% to 18% market share.
