DroidIn Brings Professional Social Networking to Android

While LinkedIn has had a mobile site for a year now, but the mobile web doesn’t quite compare to honest-to-goodness software. DroidIn offers all the usual functions, like search, updating status, and checking information on your connections. Some things, like direct messages, don’t work, and that’s to be expected until a program is made by LinkedIn proper. There’s been an official iPhone LinkedIn App since the summer, but still not even a third-party solution for BlackBerry. What gives? The de facto enterprise smartphone of choice seems like a natural home before the iPhone and G1. Alas, go ahead and look up DroidIn on the Android Market. A free ad-supported version without search is also available.

Simon Sage

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
