Professional social networking site, LinkedIn, has just updated their iPhone application with some noteworthy features. The flashiest of the bunch is called In Person, which lets you meet other iPhone/LinkedIn users who have turned on Bluetooth in your area. At the right functions, this could save you a lot of time dealing with business cards and data entry. Native address book integration, update streams from all or favourite connections, revamped search and user interface are all a part of the new package. The update is for iPhone OS 3.0, which you can download from iTunes here. For those holding out for the BlackBerry version, LinkedIn is putting on “the finishing touches”.
