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.
