LinkedIn Releases Major Mobile Updates

LinkedIn has released major updates to their iPhone and Android apps, as well has releasing a HTML5-based mobile web app for access from other smartphones. The updates make the mobile apps easier to operate, faster, and more visually appealing.

The mobile apps are now organized into four areas: updates, inbox, you, and groups. Unfortunately, how navigation appears between those areas is different between the Android and iPhone apps. In both cases you tap the gray LinkedIn bar at the top of the screen, as shown in the screenshot, and with the Android and mobile web versions a button bar expands down to display buttons for the four areas; on an iPhone you see another full screen with the four different areas.
