LinkedIn has had an iPhone app since 2008, but an Android version of LinkedIn was released today for business. In a statement released on the company’s blog, Chad Whitney said that:
” The LinkedIn Mobile team is excited to announce the availability of LinkedIn for Android version 1.0. The app is available in the Google Marketplace or from our website: Download LinkedIn for Android ”
