Linkedin Blog

Our mobile audience has greatly evolved over the past year. Today, our mobile professionals span across the globe and represent a broad spectrum, from executives to young professionals and from road warriors to desk ninjas. The typical workday has also extended beyond the traditional 9-to-5 as professionals are continuously looking to gain advantage and stay one step ahead, every day.

Today, we’re excited to unveil a brand new mobile phone experience, completely revamped with the general professional and everyday use case in mind. We want to make it easier for our members to quickly discover and engage with the rich professional insights being shared across LinkedIn to help them make smarter decisions from wherever they may be working. We’ve designed the new LinkedIn mobile phone app for every professional, with a richer and more engaging stream and more personalization features.

No download necessary–just sign in! Get immediate access to news and updates from your professional network, share your updates with your peers, and compose and respond to messages and invitations — all at your fingertips.

In addition to what you could already do with our BlackBerry 6 and 7 app, we’ve added some new bells and whistles to the BlackBerry 10 experience:
