We like to follow the trends of the smartphone world and see which is the biggest vendor and which operating system is on top and the latest figures make for interesting reading. A new report has all the date and we’ll give you a short breakdown of the numbers.

The report comes from Millenial Media’s Mobile Mix report and the smartphone landscape as a whole has remained pretty flat as far as operating systems go. When looking at data for last month Android remained the most popular platform when looking at connected device and smartphone OS mix, with 56% of impressions. The iOS (Apple) platform had 28%, RIM (BlackBerry)13%, Symbian 1%, Windows 1% and others (webOS, Danger, Nokia OS, Palm OS) 1%. The figures remain the same as those between July and September.

The report was brought to our attention by Zach Epstein over on BGR who also informs on the top manufacturers (all devices) for October. Top vendor was Apple on a 23.50% share and HTC overtook Samsung into second position with 18.11% while Samsung had a 17.24% share. Making up the rest of the top 10 were RIM, Motorola, LG, HUAWEI, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Kyocera in that order.

The top 20 mobile phones for October again saw Apple on top with of course the iPhone, on 12.53% usage share. The Motorola Droid X was second on 5.51%, and in third place was the BlackBerry Curve on 4.20%. The remainder of the top 10 were the LG Optimus, HTC Desire, HTC EVO, Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S, BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Torch and the HUAWEI Ascend.

We’d like to hear your thoughts on this latest set of figures on mobile devices. Are you surprised that the OS platform figures have remained flat? Why not let us know with your comments.
